| I have to "test fit" the engine in the engine bay again to see where the motor mounts need to be welded to the frame (then pull it back out to weld them), then paint the engine bay, and drop it back in. That's the easy part.
There's a ton of little things that have to get done such as making p/s lines, fuel lines (the GTR's fuel lines were on the opposite side of the Z32's so there's a LOT of line to run), installing all the electronics, etc.
I'm thinking TOPS it should be done by the end of April, hopefully sooner.
All the major parts have been purchased, and it's far more expensive than I originally planned. I'm well over $20,000 into it now and will probably end up with an "about where I was before" Z32 (as far as power is concerned, albeit a little lighter and FAR easier to work on Z32!)
