Wait a second. You have the AC parts but can't use them now????

Yeah pretty much. I just gave up trying to make it work. Was going to have to customize way to much up front to get my AC compressor on there. It isn't a completely dead idea. I just gave up on it with my wrench. It's been at his shop over a year & it has cost me a shitload of cash. So much so I won't be sharing that little detail here. Pretty damn disgusted overall as I get it back still not running. I should have just buckled down to do it myself. Although it is done really well. My trunk cut out & cap was done Excellent & looks great. So everything is done really clean & right. Definitely nicer than it would have turned out had I done it all myself.

Not much of a report but I am going to pick up my car today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Still more to do but at least it will be back in my garage. Be a bit of a PITA to get into my garage as my driveway has a good slope to it. Have to get it lines up. Then hook my flat tow back up & go slowly up the driveway.

Picked it up earlier today. Tucked back into its spot in my garage. So nice to have it back. Hope to spend a few hours on it this weekend.

Need to finish my Clutch MC install. Bleed both clutch & Brakes. My speedometer cable sucks so I need to measure that all out & get a new one. All my fluids getting redone. Some are clean but to be sure I want everything done again before I try to start it. Once running need to burp my Radiator system. Really a bunch of little things. Moved my ECU into the cab. Need to decide where I am mounting it. Redo my Center Console as all of that has changed. Adjust my shift linkage. I went with the Zero Decibals linkage in back. Seems smooth but need to see if it is as tight as my straight cable setup was before.

Yeah that's a lot of little finishing touches. Hope you have a power bleeder.

It's gonna turn out really nice. You're almost there, man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) !

Spent some time cleaning up my garage today. Nothing like a little spring cleaning to make room to work on my car. I'll get it up jacked up soon to work on my clutch MC install. I took a couple quick pics so you can see my tiny battery. As well as my engine so you can all see my layout

Yeah I'm not sure on my ECU yet. I'm thinking it may be in my new center console. Which I need to build once I figure that out. LOL

Okay I've got an pair of dual 8" fans to run for my intercooler. Do you guys think on top pulling air north to south? Or pulling air south to north? Or on fan on top & one on bottom doing one of each

Also I've got a newly chromed early bumpers I will be putting on. My bumpers are in great shape but this gets rid of the holes for the bumper tits. Plus these bumpers are just plain pretty.

Got the car up on jackstands to do my hydraulic clutch. I've got the bracket in place already. The hole I drilled was a bit off unfortunately from last year. I went & got some die grinder stuff. Just finished boring out the hole. Got my MC sitting there with my Hydraulic line done. Just need to bolt it in place, add fluid & bleed. Need to do my brakes as well. So glad I've got extra fuel line hose. Able to just have my gas tank sitting up top. I didn't have a ton of gas in the tank but still nice not having to drain it.

Also took off my rear trunk panel. This was done really well. I am more happy with it every time I see it.

Okay clutch MC is in place. You'd think I have more time on the weekend but literally had an hour today. It is bolted in place & the line finished all the way back. Just need to decide how I am mounting the reservoir. Kinda figuring just next to the brake. Just not sure how I am going to mount it there? Then on to bleeding both the Clutch & Brakes

What's the reservoir look like? I thought about next to the brake but it would take a bit of work . Probably be able to fab a bracket and bolt it to the brake mount.
