awesome car dude what type of paint did you use to paint it?

Just regular Krylon ultra flat camo. I may go ahead in the future and paint it gloss black like i originally intended but i doubt i'll own it long enough.

More snags today but at least after its all said and done the pan clearance is no issue at all

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

Hit some snags today. Motor is in and bolted up which is the good news. The bolts they sent me for shift linkage isn't the right one. The turbo housing hits the wastegate so i need to order a couple flanges and some tubing and move that out some. Next the alternator hits the throttle body when turned the way i need it. Easiest solution is to move the tb to the center of the intake instead of trying to drop the alternator down a bit. Hopefully tomorrow goes better.

Im going to trailer it either way so yes it will be at sowo.

Battery cable kit and tubing came yesterday. Tried unsuccessfully to get motor in as i had 2 coolant pipe to close to each other and need to come up with a way to make that work.




Couldn't do anymore on motor for the night so after getting a quote for $150 each to install the side windows we decided to give it a try with the old rope trick. added some WD-40 and both slid on first try. Not sure about all the crying on the Porsche forums about how hard it is. After i got them in i noticed i forgot the underneath window trim Probably pop these back out and try the windshield at the same time. Quote was $200 for that and are notorious for cracking on re installation.

It's coming along great so far, by the looks of it!

Can't wait for the first fire-up!
