| the last two weekends most of the parts are for my 2+2 TT swap, that i pulled out of my parts car or off of an engine that needs rebuilding. forgive me and my camera....as you can see, money was not spent on upgrading it  i mounted the front calipers today, before i felt i was too cold.
plenum shot, hood latch, support bar, IC hangers and various pipes
 i pc'ed the most of the intercooler piping here is a close up of the plenum/balance bar
 now for some build up pics i laid most of the items i will use for the swap out yesterday 

 for those with stillen oil coolers, do you use the provided sandwich adapter, or do you use the stock hoses? right now, i am between the two
TT clutch and segemented flywheel
 intake and radiator hard pipes, new motor mounts, and t bolt clamps
 fan has about 500 miles on it, ss split downpipes, and test pipes
 Blitz BOVs and the tranny fluid
 shaved fan shroud that i have slowly worked on and off on for the last half year :P
 
Z1 howe rad, with about 1000 miles on it, one of my first purchases for my first Z
 the red headed step child....i am working on it though. i have a 60k kit coming in
 here's one with UR pulley
 i need to get the rust off of the sprockets and idlers. if anyone wants to chime in with the best/safest(for timing belt) method, i would appreciate it. as far as prepping the motor, today i attached the pc'ed motor mount, ac, alternator, and ps pump mounts. also, i have placed npt fittings on the intake valve covers for relocating the pcv valve system. here is the oil filter shot
 last weekend, i also swapped out front fascias. yes, i still need to paint it. but i am waiting for it to warm up a little bit. you will have to forgive me until then :P

on another note, i have to give love to eastwood. i think the tumbler for refinishing small parts in great. here is a pic of some parts that have gone through the gauntlet
 you can only imagine what the parts looked like before going in for the first tumble.
