Got the motor dropped in today. Rear mount is being an absolute b***h though. Its like 2 mm off being lined up and i cant seem to get it to line up, even with standing on the motor and jumping on the intake mani (ive heard that this is a common issue with hasport mounts). Tried a tapered punch, but it wasnt quite thick enough so Im gonna see if i can get one that is a little thicker to shove through and try to get it to line up. And i was being an idiot and forgot to put the alternator on so ill have fun installing that from the bottom or I might just move fuel rail and remove the bracket so i can do it from the top.
Ballin!!!

Lol i wouldnt say that, but i am really liking how the car is coming out. I keep trippin' out looking back at the first picture i took of the car and can't believe that was only 4 months ago.
Its coming along great! Now get it running

Ok guys, bad news. Paint is not gonna get finished. My brother said Im ungrateful because I asked him to finish my car when he said it was gonna be done several weeks ago and he threatened to put dents in the rest of my panels so I arranged to go pick up whats left at the shop this afternoon. Ill have the car redone elsewhere when I have the money. So obviously the K swap will have to wait and I might just end up canceling those plans. Was really excited for where this car was going but it seems like things start falling apart whenever I start actually getting somewhere.

Supposedly hes gonna finished the panels today. If theyre not sprayed by the end of tonight Im going and picking it up. Disappointing that it had to come to this when its my own brother painting it.
Dealing with family sucks...

Ya :/ Hopefully he follows through this time, but I'm definitely not doing business with family in the future, it just ruins relationships more often than not.

Almost all back together. Just gotta transfer the handles and stuff over to the new driver door, put the axles in and then fill the tranny and radiator and were good to go.

Haven't really done too much to the car the past month. Got an OEM rear wiper delete kit, new headlight bulbs, and new spark plugs though.
