Woohoo the engine is run in and ready to boost
one prob is the rear subframe
They are getting there a$$ kicked by the rear suspension because, everything is fused together with rust.

well just a little update, for u all
so i mentioned that the rear was alittle rusty, well i have had a new rear sub frame delivered by a lovely man who had one laying about (s2kpuddydaddy)
mase said that when they fitted the sub frame they did not realize the USDM spec was different to the uk spec sub frame, so they had modify it alittle to get it fit.
Hopefully it will all be back up and running today,
the other thing he mentioned is that the new motor runs alittle hotter than the stock so i may need a new rad (shiny one i hope
)

Hey Phil glad to see that slowly but surely you are getting all the little problems sorted out!
You got any idea how to get the car to pass emissions once it gets back?
Also what insurance co you going with? I presume you will be looking to have all the mods covered.
For me I think I can finally see the finish line .. now its a question of how long it takes me to get there
Car was finally started up over the weekend so should have a vid soon. Apart from that parts are all somewhere across the US so arrival sometime this week 
Glad to hear everything is going well for you buddy

I am looking into insurance at the moment, i hope they will be nice, have you looked into yet
I am looking at all ur updates the thing will look sweet
