Thanks. Trying to finish up soon but this frigid weather ain't helping much. There is so much layers I can wear lol. I miss driving it. Very fun car once it boosted.
very nice work man...just wondering shoot me a pm with the paint you used on the downpipe and what prep you did and how it holds up thanks keep up the clean work
Here's an update got the 7M-GTE in. Only a few misc things things need to be installed. The wire harness is in the process of getting finished. Did some what of a wire tuck on the car. A/C and power steering was eliminated. Here are the pics finally for long over due update...................

I took apart the 5M to see what killed the engine. It was cylinder number 5. It spun a bearing and had a bent rod, on to the pics.........................

Here's a before and after when I painted the rims.....................
Finishing up the block, and cleaned and painted my engine bay flat black....................
Starting to look like an engine bay again..................
While waiting for some parts I did my entire suspension with new bushings, tie rods, struts, etc. My setup is MKII Tokico Struts/Shocks with Eibach Springs 1 coil removed.
