Screw engine stands! I hate em. Have a nice work bench we assemble our motors on then pick em up off the table with the hoist and put em in.
Car is looking good though. It's always nice to start off with a good un-molested car.

ehhh... its too nice to be able to sit down and build motors. It hurts my back more to stand over a engine stand and assemble a motor.

I'm betting at least a LITTLE respray will take place in that engine bay.. the lower rails never survive brake fluid leaks and batter acid over the course of 20 years...

Brian doesn't reply to my texts anymore.
I must have made him sad. Oh, that's right. He has another girlfriend now.

Soooooooooooooo update................
I'm still taking shit OUT of the car.... although today was very productive... about 9 hours of wiring was had and in that time I got everything stripped out that wasn't being used.... think about all the wiring for the stock headrest speakers, the volume controls, the amp controls..... all that jazz is now gone. I also started stripping back the front harness to take out things that aren't being used, check connectors, coil triggers, CAS wiring, all that shit is out. I also managed to get all the wires lengthened to where they need to be and then some for the Helltech. The goal here is to have as little wiring seen as possible. There isn't nearly the electronic trickery that I have in the coupe, and 1/2 the turbo's and 1/4 of the intercooler. So the goal here is CLEAN. For those of you who know the FC wiring, you know that there are three main harnesses that wrap and contort all over the engine and the engine bay. There is the Emissions Harness which is basically the harness that controls the engine. It hits the shock tower then head over to the engine before branching out to the AFM and the mixture adjust, and the boost gauge and all that crap.... that's all gone now. Then there is the Engine Harness. The harness connects to the front harness and hits the Alt, the CAS, oil level etc etc etc.... That is now GONE Then there is the front harness... pics up the Engine harness and feeds the meters, the reverse lights and the ECU for the over the top switch and the neutral switch and the subzero switch and the oil level. Then it wraps around the front of the car in a very visible way and feeds all the turn signals and what not.... this is getting stripped down to the bar minimum and hidden behind the fender and behind the front bumper. Yes, it is alot of work and it's best to do it if you have a spare harness to butcher wires from so you're not changing colors 2x in the harness. I hate butt-splices inside harnesses anyway, but changing colors just makes it a total PITA to troubleshoot crap. So yeah.... after 9 hours of horsing around with the wiring... here's where I'm at. A few more hours and it should be done and back where everything needs to be. The other benefit of doing it this way is everything is plug and play. Ever wire something, then go to take something else out, and you realize that you need to cut your wires to remove it? Yeah, I learned that lesson a LONG time ago  After everything is wired.... it will take an hour to get the interior back together. I like that. AND most of the stock wires are retaining thier color right up to the connector that runs to the PS2000 making troubleshooting even easier.Yes, I am an ass about my wiring.... but it has served me well so piss off. Goal for next sunday night is to have the front harness done and tucked away where it needs to be with all the additional wires run. I usually run all new wires for things... but since time is short, I decided to re-task some existing wires that were already run. I need a 0v and return for the intercoolers radiator temp. Trigger for the intercoolers radiator fans Trigger for the rad fan Trigger for the intercoolers rad pump... although I'm thinking this will just be hooked up to a key on relay. When you turn the key on, it pumps, but shuts off when cranking. B/Y wire if anyone is interested. B/W is acc, on, and start Also want to have the main power and grounds run and the PS2000 pretty much wired to the chassis. Alot of this will depend on whether or not I get all the parts in that I require. We shall see. Soooo yeah... actually an early night for me. 9-10 hrs of wiring and my eyes hurt. Time for food, shower, and sleep.... but first... pics....
