Motor is in and about 60% done.  All the wiring is done, clutch, bellhousing, starter, and long tubes are all in.  Just gotta put the low milage T5 in I bought last month, and the rad and the rest of the exhaust, and it should be done and driving by this time tomorrow.

and I didnt want to do it ghey GREY, or black, (which to me makes it look like you had a REALLY bad oil leak..)

So Ford Blue was the only logical choice.
