I am ready for a test fit on the engine so i can finish the harness and do the cooling/heater lines. I think once I see the engine in the car I will get fired up again. Its also supposed to cool off.



Unexpected things happen. Hope your dad is fine. Getting the engine back in is a milestone I have too. Sure will get you motivated. But still end is not close to move the car for me. Need to install front and front to back brake lines, rebuild calipers, modify suspension, yada yada yada.... It looks maybe by September if all goes very well and you know how that goes restoring old cars

Glad to hear your Dad is doing better. Sorry he had to go through that.

I know once I saw that motor sitting on the cradle I would be getting excited about the power in that little car. It would be so much fun to drive,.

I have been working on it. Heres the low budget part, my wallet. Ive updated the needs list on page 3. I put the belts on today.



My fuel pump/sender is done. I washed out the fuel tank and its ready to install. the cabin is ready to go back together. PCM tune is in the works. I still need an exhaust system. I plan on the Flo-tech Afterburner.

Well my formula just sprung a coolant leak. At first I thought it was just the pump seal, but after looking at it closer it looks might be the timing cover seal under the water pump. Its obvious where its leaking from, defiantly a seal. Wow, more work. Oh and while i was in there i found the AC belt had almost sawed through the lower coolant hose also.

My PCM is on the way. Nosrac had some on the shelf ready to go for a good price. I put my interior back together with a used Alpine deck. I sprayed the cabin floors and the rear firewall with Permatex undercoating and added a little of that blue sound proofing to just the rear firewall on the inside.

Edit; The cradle will be going in tomorrow for a test fit and to finish up the wiring.
