As mentioned above, work has begun on the newest project on my farm.
Engine was removed in good time with help from the G man and tools from the ginger.
Next bits will go slow, as I have no deadline other than those I set upon myself. Such as the snow melting and Castrol opening up.
Clutch was discovered to be pristine. Other than the odd couple autox's, winterx's, and the one lapping day which caused this whole mess, no real launches or racing has been done in the 240k lifetime of this clutch. But still, stop and go city driving should take its toll, no?
This day's work began with some logistics. I spent 3 hours building this monstrosity.

that was the end of that day.
Future days may or may not include:
turbo removal
timing belt and junk removal
cam removal (after cam gear fight... selling tickets now!!)
head removal
