As you can see it was oh so organized.

thats when you did the flywheel and 89 turbo?

If I remember correctly, this was taken while I was feverishly trying to get the car back together to take it on a trip to Wisconsin.

The only thing that held me back was the fact that the goddamn pilot bearing came apart while removing it and I couldnt get the puller on it.





If it hadnt taken me 6 hours of working on that bearing, I probably would have been able to drive the car on the trip.



Instead, it got too late and we decided to take my friends 2001 Protege ES (automatic, BARF) and left at 1:30am after I had already been awake since 8am the day before and had driven to Syracuse to have Mark put my Kuhmos on the 89-91 wheels plus all the other hassles of trying to get my 25% taken apart TII put back together.



I think I posted this already when I got back from that trip, but when we got there, I drank a growler from the local brewery after being awake all that time and surviving on energy drinks and fast food.





Um, yeah the growler didnt stay down long.

 

mmmmm folgers can

 

Yeah, did like EVERYTHING.



89-91 Turbo/manifold with all new gaskets.

RB flywheel and ACT clutch (which the flywheel nut loosened on me after driving to NJ for the BBQ)

replaced the gasket between the UIM and LIM.

finished the silicone hose job.

replaced rear tranny seal



Only thing I didnt do was replace the slow leak in the rear pinion. (leaks barely 1/2 pint in a year)



Edit - taking me a while to remember everything. I also removed all the A/C lines, compressor, and would have done the condenser if I had felt like yanking the radiator.
