Sorry for the lack of updates. Still waiting on some parts to showup so I can move to the areas that depend on themb being done. Got the coilpacks in so my brother and I cleaned them up and got them mounted.
Also had to clearance the trans mount a little cause the case of the transmission was hitting it. You’ll see from the pictures. Plus I wanted to lower the angle of the trans a little for the driveshaft. Made sure the motor was still level front to back and side to side. It moved a little front to back but still within the balance lines. Can’t move it too much. Don’t wanna mess up the cars handling with a motors that’s crooked… 
Anyhow here’s some pics of the weekends progress.

Ok now don’t laugh too hard. But after I finally get done with the brake lines I never want to see one for a long time. That and the flaring tool. Holy (insert colorful metaphor here). I finally went to Napa and got the preflared ones. Then Renee and I tackled the bending of the lines. That’s not so bad if you take it a step at a time. But the flaring part, ya not for me. That’s one of those lost arts like pyramid building..
So ya didn’t really take any pics cause I was still working on the same stuff. Got the front brakelines done. Waiting on the rear ones cause there’s a sequence of events that has to take place before I can do those. Picked up the injectors from Nic over the weekend. Looking at alternator relocation kits to move the alternator up to the top of the motor. Still waiting on tires. Soon as those show up and I get the front brake reservoirs mounted and the brakes bled she will be a roller. Then after that I’ll notch out the trans mount so the trans sit level and see if I’m gonna need to the driveshaft made longer. We’ll see.
So I’ll update as soon as I can.
Got the motor and trans in this past weekend. Big thanks for my brother and wife for helping out. Man it was hot out but we got it done. Also ran the front and rear brake lines along with fastening them down. All I have to do now is run a line from the master cylinders to the lines. Also got the hidden battery box mounted. Haven’t riveted it yet. Want to make sure everything else is fine beforehand. Next gotta get the tires, put em on the wheels, then get the car off the movers dollies. Damn thing is getting heavy now.. Anyhow here’s the new pics in the gallery:

Not been able to work on the car in the past few weeks. Hurt my knee in martial arts class so I’ve been taking it easy on it. Hopefully I can get some work done this coming weekend, we’ll see…
