Summary

As planned engine and transmission installation is complete. Next up is measuring/planning for the serpentine belt system and procurement of it. We will also identify instrument cluster replacement options and look to procure rear brakes. AC system will follow and be installed with cluster and wiring harness once they are available. Shifter assembly procurement was delayed as further research was required. Keeping overall status as ‘yellow’ due to unknown final pricing on some items that may have budget impact.
