I realized after I decide on a two piece that there would have been no way to get a one piece in without moving the engine or the rear subframe because the shaft has to go through the little tunnel in the rear subframe.

Hey Guy, Sorry about the HUGE delay in the build but life happens, anyway the motor is in and mounts are finished. im currently working on the trans mount and exhuast piping. as most builds go we always want bigger and better so ive decided since im running the drivers exhuast around the front anyway i might as well slap i nice size turbo on it. enjoy some of these pics of the progress so far.
mocking up the driver side mount.
