Overall Status
Summary
There was excellent progress in December with a significant amount of work getting done. The old engine and transmission were removed and the new setup installed. There remain a large nubmer of small things to do. We are paused for the moment waiting for final parts that had to be ordered after intial fittment.
Marking the project as Yellow since project costs are higher than expected due ot the amount of fabrication needed to make everything work together and some unexpected parts costs. Project is now estimated at $30K to $35K depending on if there are any other variances.
Baring any unforseen delays we belive the vehicle will go to the exhaust shop in late January or early February and will be tuned shortly after that.
