        There will be some great updates. Let's just say I got there at 2:30, and just got home now.

            Saturday morning the motor looked like this

            EE45561F-EBA6-4490-AAF6-963AC5FE507F-130

            Spent a total of 12 hours yesterday with a lot of help from Jeff, Earl, John, and a couple of the Lower Standards guys, the motor is in! The harness is on and once I get some new clamps for the fuel lines and put the drive belt on, it should be ready to start!

                  Question- how should I effectively take my radiator core support off? Hack it off? Mine is kind of bent, so I at least have to build the bottom part custom. Hopefully my front end comes together and lines up...

                    I cut the middle section out first, leaving only the 4 corners. Then from there it's just drilling out tack welds. My lower part was so rusted that I couldn't even find the tack welds, so I just used an impact chisel on the seams. The tops where the fenders sit on was easy, but the lower parts were kind of a pain. I pretty much hacked the bottom ones off. Because drift car.

                    When you pick up those motor mount arms you're welcome to swing by and check it out.

                                      Is there any other kind of drifting?  If you dont hate everything while drifting, youre doing it wrong.

                                        Ive also been watching my favorite drift videos to get me pumped.  The e30/e36 in this one are so sick. 

                                        If the head situation is fine, it just may come off the lift for the first time in 4 months.
