Was just going through the donor car to pull the boost, water temp and oil pressure gauges out along with the pillar pods when I noticed a manual boost controller stuffed on the side of the drivers seat, and the HKS turbo timer I somehow completely missed before.

Pulled a couple of bits off the motor after dinner today, replaced the plugs while I was at it.
Clutch has seen better days....
Pressure plate is done as well
Flywheel is looking just as bad as the pressure plate
Slight leak on the rear main seal

A few drops made it to the back of the flywheel as well
Plugs show that she was running a little rich, but that's to be expected when the BoV wasn't recirculated

Time to do the water pump, damn wasps
The old pump has seen better days
Lots of gasket removal

Pulley is dirty, rusty, and generally looks like garbage
Woops, forgot to drain the oil before I pulled the motor, now seems like a good enough time

Everything back together on the front
Finally got around to putting the new lines on the turbo as well
Going to try to motivate myself to get more work done while it's so nice out.

First two base coats are on, 3 more to go, then clear and buffing. Progress, it's crazy.

Got a couple of pics with the wifes camera. He's going to buff her this weekend. Then she'll come back to the house on one of my days off next week. Still need to get the trans put back on the engine.

I think this was where we left off...
Thanks to some extra hand the transmission is back on
OH NO! It's N/A now!

Not that you can see it, but the water and oil lines for the turbo are all done up correctly this time
Turbo and manifold back on, lines on and done, just about ready to go into the car, which should be happening next week, FINALLY!

Not that you can see it, but the core support is FINALLY welded on, she should be coming home tomorrow afternoon/evening. Oddly enough, this crappy cellphone pic shows the color better than any I've seen so far. They're in the process of doing the final polish right now.

Had to pull the front tension rods, tension rod and sway bar mounting brackets off of the donor car, as the silver one doesn't have them. They were filthy with a few sections of the paint chipped through.
Got them cleaned up and they look like this
I've painted them too, they're drying right now, but I'll get pics of them tomorrow, and hopefully mounted on the car as well, after that I need to swap over the Z32 brakes, and then put the engine in.

Got some work done today, thanks to HumP for stopping by and providing a different perspective, made a world of difference.

Valve cover needed the paint stripped and a hole filled, (engine balancer gouged the front of it during install). After the filler is fully cured, it will get sanded down, then the whole thing will get filler primer to smooth our the scratches on the back of it.
