Well, I spoke with Motorwerks today, THe one they ordered is a Brand New OEM unit. Not a rebuild. So i guess there is no substitute for that. I am going to just stick with it. I did see how the rebuilt units were about 5 times cheaper though. Ehhh. Only the cost of the clutch setup and I don't have to worry about the rebuild quality I guess that is good right?

As most projects they are slow. You cant really rush perfection. But... I wish we could. Now I think I will timelapse video the final assembly. That way in the end I can rush perfection all over again anytime I want.

progress

The fabspeed is only here for some fitment testing. B&B goes on last they said. Man it sure is coming along nicely, But please guys... Disregard that exhaust. Ugly as sin.

I am going to polish it back to a mirror finish at my shop. And I have some good spare parts for sale.

SACHS clutch and flywheel that only had 2K mi. on the, Good condition connecting rods, The fabspeed bypass... That will look brand new in a week or so. Working in a massive machine shop has its perks I think I can tumble or media polish anything. Automated too. Like that Ronco Rotisserie.

one or two of those pics were bad.

They really know how to clean a car up at Motorwerks. I am very impressed.

nice update, Looking good. Really nice & clean billet alum engine covers. Where did you say you ordered these from?

I really need/should go to the beginning of this thread and re read the whole build. Keep going this is amazing.
