..................Now that's funny right there! You don't think I'd actually spend that much on Tyler do you?!?!? The most I've ever spent on him was........well, $0.00!! LOL!! And that was too much!!!! LOL!!!I didn't buy that turbo. I just got it for a friend of mine here. He has a '96 ECSB that he wants to do some mods to. He wants me to do the e-fuel, and probably build the T4 mount and pipes.
Speaking of pipes....I got my down pipe all welded up last night, the power steering pump changed and the radiator in. I had to go get a new pressure line for the power steering pump yesterday. When I changed the pump, just turning it by hand the line was leaking. I got the DP painted this morning with some high temp paint, but now I have to stop and go grocery shopping
. This bachelor stuff SUCKS after you been married for 21 years! LOL!! I should have some pics up tonight.

Got the tunnel welded in today and seam sealer on it top and bottom. Tomorrow the seam sealer will be dried and I can paint the under side then get the down pipe in. Here are some pics of the tunnel, DP, and the IC pipes.
I purged the fuel system and checked for leaks this evening, got the oil and coolant in it, and fixed the bent carrier bearing bracket. After I get the tunnel painted underneath, I can put the DP in, the IC pipes and the intake. I'll get a pic of all that in and finished. After I get all that done I may go ahead and put the header panel, lights and grill back on. After that I have to wire the power to the gauges, put the t-case and skid plate in, both drive shafts, batteries, and I think that's it. I'm sure I'll find a few other things that need done before I can call this project DONE.

Its kind of ironic that we got married on the day the war started.
