Well, not sure what the shop rate is where you guys are, but its $75-85 per hour where I live (the oil patch has driven that up). I was told from the local shop it would be 3-4 hours labour plus what ever parts are needed.

They dont charge by hour at this one. they charge by job i guess... 90 to do the welding, and 45 for the steel

Picked up the drive shaft, rear brake pads, rear calipers, and rear rotors today. U-joints will be in tomorrow.

Completed the fuel line install, except for the last 16 inches in the engine bay (got to wait until its the last thing so I dont install it where something else is).

Fuel lines to the fire wall:

I am sure that it is just the camera, but those fuel lines look like standard "gas pipes." What sizes are they? Mine are standard tubing 7mm OD.

Stainless steel tubing, made by Swagelok. 1/2'' O.D. Rated at 2500 PSI, burst pressure of over 5000 PSI. All the unions and fittings are stainless steel too, just over $300 if I were to pay for it. We use it in the oil patch here to transport gas/liquid stuff.

Yeah. That's a little overkill. We will only get around 60psi on the 7mm, but that ss does look good, and the price was right. A "little" oversize will increase fuel flow without upgrading fuel pump.

It looked like electrical pipe to me! I was like

Drive shaft is mounted, fuel lines are now bolted instead of the self tapping screwings. Intake manifold on, rear engine mount is in the way of the shifter cables - might need to make a new bracket for the cables.

Oh yeah almost forgot, had to assemble the waste gate and make some gaskets. Its on now too, just need a new diaphragm, its getting pretty worn.

Got the shifter cables setup, its going to take some practice going into 5th, the difference from 4th to 5th is about 1 inch.

Engine bay almost done:

Started it today, yay! Ran it for 20 seconds, good thing I shut it off after that because I forgot to bolt up the oil return line from the turbo to the oil pan. Leaked about 1/2 cup of oil out, maybe one cup. Picked up the slim fan tonight too, along with a new air filter/intake pipe.

Just got to install and fix that stuff tomorrow, install 12 bolts for the drive shaft and rear cv joints, then remove a broken bolt from a caliper and its done. Finally.

Forgot about the suspension, got to lower the front.

Well, its now driveable, and holy sheep shit does it like to go. I let off the throttle at 16 psi in first gear when it started to get loose in the rear, plus the wastegate is still not functional so I had to bring the throttle down some. I need a way stiffer setup in the rear as I think it was near bottoming out when I was on the throttle.

I only drove it a block so far, and am loving it, now to install the touch screen in it so I can read all the gauges again.

Yep, I just need to find a trailer to haul it on because I can see myself wrecking something on it. 2.5 hour tow truck is too costly.
