April 3: Now, seeing as though the original g-lader is not fixable, I have bought another one...I have been told it is in good working condition and already has new seals and a new timing belt with it...just need to replace the bearings inside...
April 7: Removed clutch, flywheel, oil filter, housing, oil cooler, distributor, fuel injectors, intake manifold. I had a chance to blast a few pieces, but not everything. We're still going to see if we can put that 16v head on this engine that we picked up - I'm not sure if it will work, though.

April 16: placed engine on engine stand, removed supercharger bracket, alternator, exhaust manifold, downpipe, belt pulleys, valve cover, blasted and painted supercharger bracket, a few other brackets
