Its mid summer festival in Finland, so i decided celebrate it by spending the evening at garage.
Fixed the last four trims to the painting rig and painted them with primer and filler:
Primered few other parts in the process:
Took off old piston rings and cleaned up the pistons. Also measured the piston ring clearance.

The roof lining is more or less ready. Only thing missing is vinyl for the sun roof flap.
I've ordered it, hopefully i'll get it next week.
Painted the rest of the trimmings, the plastic parts and few engine parts:
Assembled the long block:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-assembled the intake manifold; injectors, fuel rail, throttle body, temperature sensor etc.
-made a hole and threads for oil temperature sensor to oil pan, had to take the pan off for this
-drilled a hole and threaded it to oil filter housing for turbo oil feed line
-assembled the engine some more
plus some little jobs done.
No pics..

Bolted the gear box to the engine with new SRE -765 cover, LUK mass disk, release bearing and slave cylinder.
Yesterday it was time to install the package:
Took the car out today:
Front brakes assembled:
Started to plan drive shaft modifications. I think that if i'll cut three shafts to pieces and weld parts of them back together i'll get one that fits..

Got the drive shaft tacked to its correct lenght, managed with cutting up only two shafts.
Only major mod was changing the front rubber joint to E34 drive shafts rear CV-joint. Also replaced the center mount with E34 one.
Waiting for few new parts to arrive before i can take the shaft to local drive shaft shop for changing the front tube and balancing.
Assembled few parts to the front; IC, oil cooler, radiator and power steering cooling tubes:
It looks like oil cooler is crooked in pictures, but it isnt.
Bolted the manifolts and turbos to the engine:
