Thanks to a quick loan of @azzurros engine crane today to lift the motor over the rad support, engine is on the mounts. Thought I took a pic of it sitting in the bay… appears not so here is one of it on the way in lol! Looks like the jack mount has to go to fit the supercharger, but ran out of cutting discs so tomorrow mish now

Yes excellent…. That’s what I’ll say it is!!

Oops…. I slipped while surfing trademe. Now I’m prolly in trouble with the finance manager.

Took today off work and got a heap more sorted. Fuel tank, diff and mounts, all glass and all door insides are now removed. Rust repair cert has been arranged for next week, not looking too forward to the list but it will provide a good amount of direction for the panel beater and I. Few stripped screws causing some issue but nothing a drill won’t fix haha

Found a cheap ej22 to go with the gearbox, now the fun and games begin

Yea i bought it from the yanks, hence the relaxed nature about the rust! I might still be missing one person, hopefully Mark will have some history and i wonder if he sold it to the yanks

Bit of an update to whats been happening here, reached out to one of the old owners and he has replied, hoping he will send thru some pics/yarns about the car, on mesanger and may not be a regular FB user so might take some time, patience is a virtue. Also started dummying up an ej setup to a spare shell i have, am missing some parts if anyone has any junk lying around that was destined for the scrap bin, casually looking for the following in any condition: pair of EJ twin cam heads/head bolts/cam covers - can be incomplete/cracked etc pair of EJ engine mounts Gearbox shifter/linkage and the rear mount piece it slots into Gearbox mount or if anyone has a wrecked (more likely blown up) quad cam Subaru they want to offload for scrap, please shout out.

Yea, lets gooo!

i wouldnt worry about failed project cars in the past lol, whenever i get stuck, i just force myself to do ten mins towards the project per evening, even the smallest amount of effort over time adds up quickly, also the 10 mins usually turns into an hour or so and suddently im way past where i thought id be...

They bellies a critical fashion piece... hope someone finds it soon.... haha

Past this beast on the way home, finally got home around 3, shower then bed. Woke up at 7 for water. Slept to 7am. great yarns….look forward to the next round

2 of us at the pub

I’m at the pub

Boss gave me a 12 pack of homebrew IPA for the trip, im hoping the bottles will fizz..

I have registered and paid.... forgot to put a reference but name on form and bank are the same... Also put my preferred car but that might not be an option... see earlier comment about taking the daily lol. See yall there.
