How can his shop be cleaner than mine! ?
How can his hands be cleaner than mine! ?
How can his shirt be cleaner than mine! ?
I now have all kinds of envy!
The 8th deadly sin!

Photoshopped! I've been there.
A little play time yesterday.
What's your zero to sixty with that one HP?

OCC that looks like way too much fun! A couple of questions; what color is your coupe and how do you like the MaxJack?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Mike made significant progress today when a couple close friends helped him lower the chassis onto the subframe and engine and also install the front struts. Anyone who knows Mike also knows he had previously test fit the struts and subframe without the motor so it all went very smoothly. And he actually wore shoes today! To say it is clean would be a gross understatement.

Good Lord that is so clean, is it going to be driven?
looks like a condition 1+ coupe is about to be reborn.
Superbe .
Wow. That's all I have to say.
I actually touched his paint once.......needless to say I no longer have that digit!
Wive's/girlfriends'/mistrisses' etc. like gold/platinum/precious stones jewelry, this is car guys jewelry!
Thank you for the kind words. Here are a few more pictures:
Here's the engine on the stand before Chris and I landed it on to the dolly/sub frame
I lowered the car on to the dolly, undid all the bolts and ended up with the sub frame on the dolly.
We had to take off the intake plenum to clear the chains. That's HBChris in the red and blue.
Installed the clutch.
Then started landing the engine.
Here she comes!
And there she sets.
The engine dolly really helped make the process much easier as did the MaxJax. Once everything was in place we jacked up the 4x4s to raise the front a couple of inches so the sub frame was at the same angle as frame rails.
The struts and brakes are back on the car and it is now on the ground on all four wheels. Fuel lines are in and so are the hydraulic lines.

Hi Mike, I noticed the extra reinforcing panels in the trunk behind the Spare Wheel and behind the Fuel Tank, do you know the origin of these? I have a parts car that was originally sold into Japan with the same panels! I was told when I bought the car that it was an Alpina Built car and thought the reinforcing panels may be from Alpina.
