Default Project Envy progressing even further! **new pics**

To all you who said I'd strip my crank threads...









you were dead *** wrong, not a SINGLE problem.



Got the pulley on and mounted, and mounted the waterpump. Attempted to put on the POS Spohn DS loop and tragedy struck with my toe. (See thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/racer-s-lounge/753228-tunnel-brace-pwnage-broke-my-toe.html )

So im ready to put the final torqueing on the pulley if i can get gramps to put some brute strength on it then the oil stuff goes on along with the accesories and motor mounts. Definatly going to need some help though.

**Anyone considering using the Spohn tunnel brace/ds loop, look elsewhere. It didnt line up for ****, so im gonna have a friend help me make the damn thing fit.

I suggest you stop and clean up/organize your work area every now and then. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much easier it is to work on stuff in a clean area, not to mention the slightly lessened possibility of tripping over something and knocking your front teef out.

Glad to see it's going back together.

well well time for more updates!

**Filled the tear in my pcv grommet with black silicon, it aint pretty, but it works

**Got all my accesories and brackets on EXCEPT the power steering pulley and starter. the starter needs to be cleaned really abd before I put it on, and the PS pulley need to be taken off so I can put the new one on.

You can pull the power steering pump/pulley without removing the pulley FYI. You've gotta be a freakin' ninja, but it can be done.
