www.Quantum-Auto.com is based here in Tampa... Same stuff I used in my SC400...



Its already installed, sadly I did NOT get pics of it, but when I go under the car I will take a few pics...

Found some pics of the engine going in...

Wish I had a better updated picture from tonight... but as of now, the car has almost everything hooked up. I did the power steering (custom lines), heater lines, got an LS400 PS res (bolts right onto the pump)...etc.

Tomorrow the car shall start again, but hopefully with all the stuff on it for once... I really need a MK3 W58 driveshaft..... PM if you have one.


But for now...

Update time!

I have hooked up fuel lines, heater lines, power steering lines, coolant lines, worked on my wiring a bit and it started first try. Cha-ching. Few minor kinks to work out, but the thing starts up perfectly. Could not be happier. Some pics for now before it starts to move under its own power, enjoy.

Drove 2 hours to pick up a driveshaft... I took the weekend off, sick of cars lol.
