It started with a clean up.
Loaded the work ute with the RB20DET, auto gearbox, RB20E, VG30E, and VG auto gearbox, exhaust, and some other shit, and headed to the scrap metal blokes.
Came out with $86.75 (@ $120.00 per tonne)
Spent 4 bucks at the car wash, cleaning the tray, then back home.
Assembled box to bellhousing, properly:
And kept sorting engine bay shit.
I also gave BOTH looms to a generous DriftWA member, for rewiring, so 99% of it is going to be simply plug-in and go!
With the help of a mate, we lifted the engine and box UP, and gradually pushed the car closer, I then grew an incredibly large penis, and started acting like a cowboy
(Ok, what I WAS doing there, is supporting the box, to release the strap, to give the box more downward angle to go into the tunnel)
After about 20 angle adjustments and slight progressions forward, the box is in the tunnel, the motor is on the mounts, but has come off, to get the yoke into the box and the exhaust cleared.
STILL TO DO:
Motor
-->attach externals
-->attach intake + exhaust
-->attach new loom when received
Drivetrain
-->Mount gearbox and insert yoke
-->Fit gear shifter
Suspension/handling
-->Rear coilovers and 5 stud
-->Fit brakes all round
SOOOO CLOSE.
Again, if this IS running saturday night for the cruise, we will be running-in the suspension, brakes and motor, on the way TO the cruise, so hopefully we get it all right the first time, otherwise it's either tow truck, or the first meet point will become a temporary mobile garage.
Stressing, yet very excited, and even happy.
Today was a good day.
