Getting ready for the mechanical work on the engine - the engine itself is fine, its the cables and lines in front of the engine such as the radiator, AC condenser lines etc that need to be hooked up.

Loving those brakes. Any comments on them Hameed? Wheel clearance problems? Rotor to ball joint clearance when low?

Good to see the car coming back to it's former glory.

They will be wired up so that when the low beam is triggered both projectors on each side will come on in the low position. When the highs are turned on, both projectors will switch to a high position.

Thanks. No clearance issues or anything of that sort. They are made for a GS. The only requirement is that you have to install 18's (the OEM 17 inch wheels will not go on these) with BBK clearance.

The main reason why I decided to fix it versus walking away from it was actually very simple. It was not sentimental whatsoever. It was a purely financial decision.
Hameed, for what it's worth, I absolutely agree with your math and decision to repair the car. She'll be a beauty.
