It begins. . .
I finally have all of my parts together, so I took some vacation time from work and I've started my GS (GE) --> Aristo (GTE) conversion. I was feeling a bit lazy today so I didn't get too far, but here are some preliminary pics. I hope to be done by next weekend, so expect a whole lot more of pics between now and then. 
oh yeah, for a refresh of all the goodies going into this project see:

some more progress for today.
front bumper off. notice the BLITZ 11 row trans. cooler tucked neatly away on the passenger side.
the exhaust came out. in one piece. not by choice, all the bolts were rusted. out came the sawzall and chop chop out it came.
radiator and fans are out
and so is the engine!!
everything packed away for the night. pretty cramped working conditions.
thats all for now, till tomorrow.

Man you got some skills working in a garage that small. My garage is like 2.5x bigger and I still complain about space lol! And I know space is tight for you, but I'd REALLY advise against puttin the hood on the roof of your car!
And just wondering, did you take the engine/trans out as 1 piece with the condenser in the way? I need to try that next time...didn't think it would work that way so I pulled the whole AC system apart heh.
