WHOA! Is that your car!? That looks like a ton of work. Replacing those two shelves seems manageable, but not critical path for now.
That being said, no telling how long the motor builder is going to take, I may have more time than I realize. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If my parts from Pelican show up I will mock up the oil cooler brackets and see what I can make of that. Thank you both for checking in on my project. |

I’m a sucker for projects Agree with your plan. People get freaked about rust but what you have is very manageable. The fact that you’re not afraid of dropping an engine is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) and makes it easier when the time comes to deal with the rust at your convenience. |

Don't rush. Take your time and repair the rust in the engine bay with the engine out. Big difference between the 1.8 and a 2056.
