The engine bay color looks sooo washed out with my potato phone pictures....

Uploaded on Imgur, not Flickr... quality kinda sucks.

Thanks man!
I just have the cover set there right now, but will be adding some mounting to the blower motor cover to be able to secure it. -
Looking good!

I keep looking at those pictures and it bothers me every time that the one clamp is silver, I replaced it with a black one. Have no fear.
Oil cooler is fully plumbed, and I started adding oil. I am at about 7 quarts with no cranking and I am just hitting the minimum oil level on the dipstick. Nifty!
Exhaust is on, wiring is pretty much done, intercooler and whatnot are in place.
Add fluids, check for leaks, start it?
I always feel like I am missing stuff and that it should take longer.... not that I usually miss things. Just feels weird having a working car
-
When you gonna attempt to start it? I wanna be there.

Got some coolant in it, added a fender and some hood support pieces.
Gave her a bit of a crank to start moving some oil, everything sounded in check. May shoot for a fire up this weekend.

Did some cranking, but didn't get a spark. Will be digging into this issue tomorrow!
-
Wow, this is really damn nice. Keep it up!
-
Diagnosed a bunch of stuff for the spark, will hopefully be testing my fix tomorrow! It appears that suddenly all of my coil drivers took a crap and don't work. Got a new one to try!
I ordered a horn button awhile ago that was said to be dimension A, which I figured would be the mounting hole diameter. Well it turned out that it was actually the overall diameter. So a bit ago I designed an adapter and printed it!

Works pretty well, looks pretty decent.
I thought I had more pictures to post. But I don't....
Moving shops soon? Bigger shop, smaller bathroom, pretty sweet. Will post pics of that too! -

Make up your damn mind, son!
Glad you're making progress.

Mind is 99% made up, just waiting on confirmation from other parties involved.
Tonight will be spark test night, I shall update with the results of that. -

Are you using the drivers that came out of the stock ecu?
-
No

No
IF YOU need some quality drivers, steal some out of an old m50 ecu. They work great. If you need to know how to wire it, head over to BF.C and checkout dburts ms3 writeup

She breathed on her own yesterday. Feels good bruh.
It turns out I didn't actually have 12v at the coils... don't know how I thought I did.
Now to get the shop rearranged so I can get the car out, then do some driving.
