I've got the front tubed out and the bumper brackets on.. I should have the radiator upper and lower supports and the radiator in this weekend. the upper core support will be bolt in. Then I will get that all painted and ready for the engine mock up and get the mounts made.
I've decided to go ahead and get it running n/a first to make sure there's no bugs before going turbo and then having more bugs to works out.. I dont need a investation all at once lol. and right now it's looking like I could be driving this car N/A within a month.. fingers crossed..

alright guys.. I guess I can do a little update since I'm researching what could be wrong with my tranny.. I got the car running.. fuel tank in and driveshaft in.. part of the interior back in and radiator and stuff mounted.. runs great.. I'm just not getting the tranny to pull.. with the tires off the ground and once i pull it out of park the tires move forward in every gear including reverse and neutral.. but on the ground its not pulling enough to move the car.. ? i dont know much about tranny so I'm stuck researching... I'll post pics asap

Ohh and i gotta give Brendan Patten @ lt1swap.com a big thanks for his help.. He reflashed my ecm and I used alot of his tips off his website to do my harness and fuse block and even obd2 port.. everything works great and it was a fast turn around. and cheaper than anybody else I found. and still to this day he's trying to help me figure out the tranny issue.. great guy..
