I got the engine in, but I still need to hook up the electrical and fuel, clean and install the gas tank, adjust the brakes, put brake fluid in the reservoir and bleed the brakes, get a battery and start the biotch.

I still have plenty to do.

It's really low. I'll probably raise the rear up one click. I hope to be driving this car daily.
