Engine in

I finally lifted the engine back into the car. I installed new intercooler, much bigger than the old one, and it fits just fine. I haven't tried the hood yet but hopefully it fits also. I also made some strut support bars as the body felt quite lively. Air springs are also a little stiffer at ride height so extra support really is needed.

This is the lowest it now goes. Front is sitting on bump stops and as I still don't have air struts at rear it will not go lower.

Looks just about right at rear for driving height, front needs to be a bit higher.

Finally some progress. I got the front struts installed and measured that I would still need 20mm more drop if I want to get the wheels to touch the arc. Well, this will do for now as getting lower means getting new inserts and strut sectioning. I just hope the bags are stiff enough at drive height.

I also got the solenoid valve and suspension management wired. Basically only things that are missing are the rear struts and compressor. I will have the compressor hopefully this week but the struts are on a ship in the middle of Atlantic so it will take almost a month until I get them.

I also glued the dash top on. It fits better than I had thought after some cutting ahd heating but it's still a plastic cover. 

I also got the wheels colored. I got tired of the polished lip and now, well, they're golden. It's a bit too bright and reddish but I can always redo them next winter. Now I will concentrate getting the car driveable.
