Engine is mated to the transaxle and bolted in to place!! Now for the fun
stuff, I have to change one coolant line or coolant hose due to new
stainless coolant lines made for wasser boxer. One line is correct the
other is not but will fab something to work. Also am getting the pieces
together for my 2.5" exhaust system and my cold air intake that I am
fabricating!! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger without
any train like noises!!!
