We are mostly waiting for the rest of our engine parts to get here in the mail. First off nick has taken some time to clean up the throttle body that came with the 3rd motor. It was pretty nasty. Were also going to take the time to plug up the bits we aren’t using anymore.
We also started tackling all the gasket surfaces that need to get cleaned up.
Still a couple more to do. I wonder if looking at pictures of us cleaning gaskets is as boring as cleaning gaskets…
Rob cut us a new access hatch for the gas filler neck. It’s still fiddly and annoying to deal with but at least it takes less time now. We are going to make some cover hatches too.
Aside from that, the rest was just moving some fittings over and cleaning up the manifolds for the third motor.
During tech at the AutoX we noticed a weird clunk in the front suspension. I’m going to take the care down to tire factory tomorrow and get it up on a lift to see if it can find out where its coming from. I want to test the belts (not actually showing positive signs 
) and checkin
