Got most of it together. However, I wasnt told that I would need to relocate 2 of the coils on the passenger side....what a pain in the dick.

Got some **** done today.
Pics are shitty because of low light and theyre from a cell phone. Need to run around and grab some more vbands and 1 more coupler.
I should have a taken a pic of the flex pipe to crank pulley clearance, its very tight, maybe a 1/3"

Coolant hoses are finally ran after 4 trips to NAPA.
Upper
Lower, and turbo oil drain
Clearance between crank and flexpipe
The lower radiator hose is a bit close to the wastegate dump tube but Im not worried about melting it since I dont think the pipe will get hot enough during a 10 second run
. The only hose Im worried about is the oil drain, because it is laying on the flexpipe from the driver side.
To do list:
Bleed brakes
Bleed power steering
Power wire for fuel pumps
Wire fuel pressure sending unit
Wire oil pressure sending unit
Straps for driveshaft

Power steering and brakes are bled thanks to help from the gf. Brakes feel alot stiffer last year, I dont know if its because I dont have ABS or if its just been so long Ive forgotten how it felt lol. I went to put the rear wheels on and realized I havent tightened up any of the rear suspension or added fluid to the diff. Im awesome.

Anchorage, Alaska - 3am this morning. About as dark as it gets for the next couple weeks.
Got some work done, got a late start due to being hungover :p More shitty cell phone pics!
Wheels on the ground, sorta temporary but its pretty close to being done. Just needed to double check some more clearances. Good to see it on the ground regardless
I forgot how low this damn thing was! Wish I could have gotten a better pic of the rake that I have going on. 28s in the rear with stock springs and 26s and Eibach pro's in the front. Amounted to about a 3.5" difference ground to wheelwell front and back.

I miss those summer nights in Alaska, plenty of light to forget what time it really is...winters were not so much my friend. Great progress and looking forward to the remainder of the build.

Looks awesome man. Is your WG dump recirculating to the downpipe or just being dumped to atmosphere?
Also, if you ever get a chance I would love to see a full parts list on your battery relocation and kill switch. Gotta do that myself soon with the turbo going in.
