Wow man, that is starting to look like a complete car again! Bet it feels nice to see it like this, and also gets you all itchy for the end so that you can drive it!

Sorry Guys for no updates lately
I haven't been able to work on the car lately with my me additional to family on the 22nd. I had a little baby girl, so most of my time as been dedicated to her. I did find some time yesterday to do a small amount of work on the car.
I fixed my oil leak that I had the the oil feed line. Ran the O2 sensor negative feed line that I just found out that was part of the rewiring on the harness, but still need to finish soldering it together. I also just finished making my CAI myself, so I should have pics up for you guys to see soon. I hope to replace the injector fuel rail soon since it is leaking and start the car again to time it.

Life is an understandable reason for lack of progress. Congrats on your new daughter.......enjoy her as too soon they grow and are gone.

WE HAVE MOVEMENT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have finally got the car on the ground for the first time in 2 years. Its great to see that the car is finally coming along to being almost finished. I finished installing the rearend and driveshaft. Made my own custom exhaust that will be temporary until I get it rerun out the LX tails I have. I also started on the weatherstripping on the car which is a royally pain in the a$$ to do. I have the doors finished and half the passenger side body weatherstripping done. I hope to have the weatherstripping finished this weekend.
Also finished a battery hold down, wire hiding, and my custom cold air. So the engine is finally FINISHED!!!!!!!!!

Now for the pics:
I hope you guys enjoy the progress....

Im going this weekend to pick up the last couple parts that I need to finish up the car.
Need:
Right LX Tail Light
82 Hood Scoop

Then I can install the hood and do the modifications I need to do for the custom top mount intercooler ram air. I hope to have it drivable in the next couple weeks.

Its been a while since I have updated you guys on the car. I have gotten a lot done recently. Basically finished most of the body work and weatherstripping on the car.
I drove the car for the first time on Saturday right to the alignment shop to get aligned. Now its almost road worthy. There are a couple issues with the car but have been working them out. I hope to have it completed soon but at least it can be driven now.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
