I installed the master cylinder and hooked it all up.

2

Installed the front strut brace. This car did not have a standard strut brace when sold new. There were no marks on the strut tower tops. Cool.

3

I love the Chassis Number

4

I found a can of black paint. Time to cover some primer.

5

Installed the water tank for the windscreen washers.

6

Installed the fans on the radiator.

7

Jody. I just found a new part you can get. The air bleed O-Rings on the radiator. I need tons of these.

Here is the A/C system.

I got tired of crawling around in the mud. So I got the carpet from the living room, my wife is at her parents now, I'll just vacuum it later.

10

All done up front!

11

I removed the passenger triangle side spoiler. Look at that mud.

12

Ouch. This is the first bit of corrosion I have found.

13

It was just surface rust. I cleaned it up with a wire brush and gave it a coat of black paint. It will be really cleaned up before we give it a proper paint job.

14

This was in the drivers side triangle.

15

But no rust.

16

Painted up all the primered parts with some satin black.

17

Installed the side scoop.

18

I mocked up the cooling pipes using some cut up MR2 cooling pipes. I'll have to have a custom water pump inlet / thermostat housing made. It will have a 1.25" inlet instead of the 1.50".

19

Again, this is just a "proof of theory" mock up. I will actually have two RSe oil coolers down there, one for the transaxle, and one for the engine oil.

20

Just another detail image

21

Like I said, I'll have a custom hosing made that will be 2.25" inlet so it matches the rest of the MR2 system.

22

Alternator fits. I'll make a bottom bracket that will also double as a belt tensioner.

Engine view

24

Bottom of motor mount

25

The exhaust ports are oval shaped

26

I am going to cut this section out and box it in. There is room, but not much. It will look cleaner that way.

27

Cut a hole in the firewall and ran the ECU cables to the ECU. Just have to mount it.

28

This is the main engine harness.I will clean all that up after I get the engine started

29

It is pretty tight down there. The EGR tubes come mighty close to the wiring. I dont like that. Gotta sort that out.

30

I am still debating putting the coolant pressure tank in this area instead of the trunk. There is a lot of room there.

31

The thermostat.

32

It fits right in there

33

You can see the air bleed. That should be the highest point of the cooling system

34

Better view

35

Gotta sort out the oil dip stick. I need to move it around so I can easily check the oil.

36

Did I say that I found some black spray paint?
