Title: It was hot today, But I was Busy !
Post by: chri85tc on August 25, 2007, 05:11:22 PM
Well I am finally ready to install the drivetrain in my TC, but nobody wanted to come out and play.

I probably lost 10lbs today assembling everything. Now here it sits all sad and lonely waiting to be reunited with the copuppies in the background.

I put all the good stuff:

Chuck W Motor Mounts
Accufab UDP Pulley
Esslinger Cam Gear
rebuilt T3
Braided Oil Feed and returns
Godfrey Thermostat Housing

The other half ?
Well I could interpret that 2 ways,

1) She was inside telling me to come on cause its too hot, or
2) Its the Aluminium looking thing on the side of the block ( with this I only need half) :)

I think he means the transmission, or the actual car. Looking good, now get it in!

I was on vacation or I would have stopped in. We are only about 35mins apart. Give me a shout next time you need a hand.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate that. I will keep that in mind. Still have a little left to do yet, but I am determined to get it running this weekend as long as my front mount IC shows up tommorrow.
