got the driveshaft in today, got the hole cut for the stock shifter (for now), got the cables hooked up to the trans. I then had to put the bushings in under the shock towers for the front struts since I forgot to put them in the first time. All was well on the pass side, went to the drivers side, had the wheel off and the car on ramps in the back and jackstand in the front (subframe)....you may see where this is going already ..... go to crank off the top nut on the strut with the impact gun....when BAM!!!! The nut shoots off, the washer goes flying and the strut/A-Arm assembly flop off to the side !!!! $HIT....There goes my brand new steel braided brake line...POP. Dumba$$ that I am I forgot to slide the jack up under the a-arm to keep pressure on the spring. So that was my stupid act for the day. Now I have to find another steel braided line for the front. BLAH. Oh well, at least I got the bushing back up in there....

absolutely, I could have lost/broke a leg if that spring would have came out. I guess I'm fortunate that it was "only" a brand new Russell's stainless line...I am getting closer step by step though.

Wow, can't believe it's been a month and no update. Car is now at my house and I have got more work done in the last 3 days then I have in the last 3 months. It helps I only have to walk out the door and work on it as long/short as I'd like instead of driving 40+mins each way.
~Got all the wiring issues fixed, orange and blue wire was for the power to the fuel pump relay, it needed a fusible link put on the starter solenoid end of the wire and then to be attached to the 12V side of the solenoid. ~The red/blue stripe of the little wire that goes to the starter solenoid needed the grounding plug installed in the wiring harness up under the dash. ~Driveshaft and safety loop are installed ~Front brake line is fixed and just needs to be bled again. ~Made mounting brackets/tabs for electric fan ~Fixed valve cover clearance issues with RR's (inside), and Cobra intake (outside) ~Installed throttle cable ~Set timing (TDC), dist, was 180* out ~Installed plugs/wires ~reinstalled cobra upper intake Still left to do: ~mount shifter in proper location DONE ~adjust shifter cable DONE ~hook up TV cable and set properly ~hook up exhaust DONE ~recheck vac. lines for loose, missing lines ~EITHER drill/tap #5 runner of ACT sensor OR extend wires and install in intake tract DONE ~Go to JY and get stock intake tube from MAF to TB ~get another PS pump or plug lines OR get a manual rack ~finish DIY alignment
