Nice! Almost ready for eleventy hp!
Close but so far away yet. Traveling for work is killing me. I can't stop thinking about getting the engine in the car.
Just need to degree the cams, install upgraded clutches in trans and shift kit in valvebody.

Made a thing today. Not pretty, but gets this cabinet up and out of the way. Moved my workbench and built another set of shelves to clear up more room. Filled trash cans with parts. Bout to start fire selling stuff off to get more room and fund the last stretch of this stuff.
There was an issue with my order with Eastwood for my welder. Ended up having to redo the order today, so won't be here till later this week. Postpones my cart plan a little bit, but no worries. I'll get there. Being able to move the car in and out for more space will be a huge benefit. I do need a car cover to put on the car when its in the driveway though.
Pulled the Supra pump to test it. Turned out it was bad. So I ordered a walbro 450lph e85 pump. Forced upgrades...
I'll be installing an unconventional turbo setup in the rear seating area of my SL. I'm anticipating that the location will help balance out the vehicles weight distribution and add significant horsepower improvements without sacrificing reliability. I do concede that the additional sound emitting from this new setup may turn out to be unbearable and result in me having to remove it, as past experience has shown that the spooling sounds very similar to blaring renditions of "Let It Go" or "Shake It Off." Time will tell.

Went to a local steel place that sells to the public at large.
4- 2" x2" x 3'8" square tubing that's 1/4" thick walls for about 6 bucks each.
1- 1 1/2"x20' 16 gauge round tube for $17
1- 4'x2' 11g plain steel sheet.
Wanted a stainless sheet (since its going on my workbench) but that would've required purchasing a 4'x10' sheet (not cheap.) The plate is going on my work bench (once its been sanded and oiled to prevent corrosion.)
The square tube is going to go towards making the cart for the car.
The round tubing I'm going to turn into crash bars. Didn't want to go crazy with it since its really for low speed collisions and I don't want to turn the front of my car into a battering ram. Want to angle it up somewhat to compensate for the car being lowered.
if you get a clean piece of steel you don't need to sand it, just oil or wd40 it once in a while. These have been here for a year:

The millscale or whatever actually prevents rust.
up close the surface after dragging transmissions and whatever over it for a year:

I have one back at my rental place like this that I know he hasn't oiled since I left a year ago and it is still clean.
Not clean unfortunately, there's some rust on it. May be able to get it off with steel wool or Brillo pads or similar.
I actually used a sheet of linoleum floor on top of my workbench. I wanted something somewhat soft to work on stuff and it had to be easy to clean. I keep a piece of 3/4" plywood, sheet of foam board and a sheet of metal "all 2'x2'" under the bench that I place down when needed. Works great!
