I'm slowly getting it ready for spring and took a few shots. It's far from being ready to drive. I have most of the parts I need. I'm holding off on ordering anything else so I can focus on finishing the jobs I have parts for already.

That's from a month or so ago. The turbo (e316g) is back on, PS pump in place, I've replaced the connectors on the tstat housing today and connected the coolant hoses. Doesn't sound like much as I'm still wasting a lot of time running to parts stores, still getting organized in the garage, and trying to clean up the car as I go. I need to start removing a few broken bolts and fixing the fender the moving company messed up as well as clean out the IC. I plan on breaking the engine in on this setup, then swapping turbos over, probably next summer.
 
Those were good times Corey. I had to go to 7 different stores before finding a 15/16" crowfoot. I really need to get in the habbit of just ordering online if the stores here can't have any good selection.
 
Love the fact that you never sold it! Still looks great Scott. I still can't believe how light those centerlines are, always wanted a set for mine, and they look great! Where did you end up moving to?
 
Good to see you still have your TA. I ended up moving to Connecticut. I'm happy with the wheels, I wish they were available in 8" width instead of 7". I"m pretty sure the tires have no grip at all by now, they at least still hold pressure. It took going to 7 different stores locally just to find a 15/16" crowfoot socket. I'm wasting so much time still trying to gather things.
 
I'd be up for meeting up some where in the state. Everyplace is pretty much new to me and there's a ton of things to check out.

kornfan it's a 6 bolt 4g63 with 2.4 crank.
 
Here's the latest. I had a long time diagnosing some issues and it's taken a back seat in priority some. My biggest issue was my ECU had a bad socket connection. The repair was only $35, but it took a long time to track it down. I've put a few miles on it now but it needs a lot of tuning. I cleaned up the wiring harness quite a bit.
