It has taken longer than expected, I have another life too you know like work and such.

Anyway here it is. The engine is in place and ready for start up soon, just finishing the wiring and off we go.

What is left to do here is brackets for the AC-pump, but I will start the engine first to iron out eventual bugs in the installation. There will also be a aluminum pipe for the airfilter. The filter will be behind the left headlight.

The work on the wiring harness is in full progress, I will have the glovebox full of relays, fuses and cables. What you see on this images has been revised with more relays. In total there will be 9 relays and 12 fuses to service the engine and the AC system.

I hope to have it started before I go to 'Vegas.

I was wondering how that was going for you. Any idea when you might have it back on the road?

I hope to get it started very soon, just a few wires left to fix. Then I will take it a few laps around the block, just to check everything out. Maybe put down a few rubber lines somewhere :evil:

The winter is coming up fast so it will not be ready before that. I have to make a new dashpanel and center console. That will take some effort before it will be done. So next spring will be the goal.

Starting it up will give me a lot of inspiration over the winter.

Some say we have ten months of winter and two months of slightly less cold. But in reality we have four months of real winter. Three months before and after that with more or less lousy weather and two months with good weather.

In the recent years the winter has started late but lasted in to April. It was many years since we had a white X-mas. This year it looked good until we got almost two feets of snow in mid-march. I guess it is one effect of the global warming phenomena.

Even though we don't get snow until late January it is dark, wet and cold. No weather to drive a good looking Camaro in, salt is no good for the Budnik's.

I think you have it worse were you are, but shorter more intense winter, at least with snow and cold winds.
