Woohoo! Finally the 3S-GTE engine is complete and the old donk is coming out this week and getting replaced by rhe new. Gearbox and rear diff are getting the treatment as well (to keep the driveline matched). It's all in pieces right now, with the engine and box getting put in either today or tomorrow. 
In the meantime I've rented a car from sources unknown  so suffice it to say that I'm now pimpin' around in an old '87 rolla. I didn't know these things had so little guts... it's an auto (had no choice) but to get any power out of it, I have to resort to driving it like a manual.  Stock as a rock, with quarter-million km's on the clock. And a big fat clock that sits where a tacho should be. 
I should have this part of the project done by next week sometime. The sooner the better because this rolla I'm stuck with is piss-weak.  No disrespect to the rest of the rolla community. 
Just hoping I can meet up with you guys on the cruise up to Dubbo.
