props man, doing the swap alone is difficult. even harder with a woman AND an apartment! haha
but youre doing it right, setup looks clean. love the paint matching throughout.

Thanks bro lol yea the apt mangers are unorganized and don't really care about much
yea the wife tells me at times when I'm lazy to work on the car lol I guess I luck out with a cool wife she even buys me parts lol
Im trying to do it right and hit all the weak points in my setup so its took longer than usual but I rather do it right the 1st time and kinda gets overwhelming at times as im doing . everything myself no help and alot of hours but it should pay of i did alot at one time so kinda excited to see how she runs f

love this stuff- i had a buddy on the 944turbo boards prob ten years ago that did a full engine rebuild on his turbo in an apt parking lot- luckily he had a car port kind of thing. He carried the engine up to the second floor and rebuilt it in his kitchen! Powder coated a bunch of stuff in his oven, then carried it back down and installed it. He even did his first paint job in that same car port and it looked better than some of my work!
