Well it's been quite a process working through my move down south and into the new shop here at Southern Car Customs, but finally things are settling down and I've been able to get to work on Fastbird's Celica. I didn't have a camera available to show the first phase of work, which was replacing the timing belt, water pump, front main seal, thermostat, rear main seal, clutch, valve cover gasket, cap and rotor, and a few other things. I guess you'll have to just use your imagination for that.
 The following pics were taken on Tuesday, yesterday I was off, and I'll be back to work on this today.Also, please excuse the mess since we're still in the process of moving!  Dropping the engine out of the car:  Engine all resealed, with new stage 2 Spec 3S/5S custom clutch set:  Now with the GT tranny removed from the 5S and installed onto the 3S:  And getting the wiring done! Whoo what a mess!  I should be able to post up some more today. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Jul 6, 2006 - 7:26 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
