Yeah lots of stuff I need to install haha in a way I'm lazy to install everything haha. But I might start working on her today depends on weather really. Also turbo might be done till next week once I can lay on my back with no pain.

So after so long I started to work on the car I'm in the process of taking off the turbo just sucks I only had like 45 minutes of daylight. I probably won't be able to work on it till the weekend and that's looking unlikely. Going to be cold next week but I'll get working on her no matter what.

So far intake and charge pipe are out and do is loose in that 45 minites I had to lift the car get all my tools out so more like 15 minutes of work lol

Yup that's a plus maybe on Friday I can get some work in. Looking at my schedule I won't be able to do anything on the weekend so Monday will be my best bet but I think we have a high of 40+ I know for some of you guys that's not that cold but for us that's getting cold lol

Aren't Texans supposed to be tough? Put on a hoodie, get some spotlights and have at it. I'd consider drop kicking a sleeping baby if it got me 40 degree weather to do an engine swap.
