So far took everything back out and reassymbling the engine on the stand.
Pressurewashed and detailed bay.
Fabbing up custom lines for the hydro fan and misc other things.
Next:
Turbo installation (oil feed, return, exhaust, WG plumbing)
Redo IC pipes from my 7M FFI pipes
Redo Brake system
Install new rear subframe

Should be done within the next 2 weeks (x my fingers)

minor update,
Well as many people that do this swap change the fron x-member. I went with one-off custom brackets and decided to change my rear x-member (subframe)
My old 87 sub frame was cracked and i found a mint 89 frame to replace it with. Also decided to replace teh fuel filter again
