Well the engine is coming back out tomorrow. I am upgrading my oil pump and doing the -8 an retro fit. I will have many pictures this weekend of whats going on, however tuesday night next week is going to be the real fun.

I have ordered several items from toyota to make sure things are finished up nicely as well on monday my power steering reservoir will be in.

Woot for progress.

So the work began.

Mocked up fuel in the other mkiii in the shop.

I will crack down more tomorrow and get the engine back installed and finish plumbing in my oil cooler and such.

Well got my new radiator installed and a stronger clutch.

Only to find out my ss braided clutch line had a hole in it.:cry: so after some thinking I sacrificed a nitrous line -3 line and wham I have a clutch line again.

Got my suspension bits back from the machine shop installed the bushings. Turns out one of the bushings on the rear spindle is not supplied by Energy suspension. So a custom made piece is underway to take care of that.

I had the front lower control arms powder coated as well as the rear arms. And I have to say they look very good. I will get pics of those tonight I cannot believe I didn't take any of them.

I also put in my new Mishimoto radiator purchased new hoses were necessary and now I am filled with coolant and oil.

Just need to finalize some wiring get that bushing made and mount up my fuel system and I should be ready to rock.

As well I am still waiting upon arrival of my leatherseats.com black leather with red stitching. I think it will look very nice.
