Well I got my uhf antenna today, 1025mm long. woohoo, looks a little big form the photos, but its not to bad, about roof rack height so that works fine for me. I like it.
It will be moved to the pass side, but right now there is an old base stuck in it that I have to cut off form the previous owner of the bull bar

gme 6.6db gain

I have begun stripping the donor this weekend. am going back today to pull more apart. should have the engine ready for removal by next weekend. (fingers crossed)

Inspecting wires as I pull them out.. makes it slightly more painful process, but and faults I can pick up on

Turbo removed:
wastegate and actuator are all there.. but the bypass is welded shut, intersting move by mitsubishi, not sure what year the activated the wastegate though, will have to do some digging, my guess is 89 when they introduced the intercooler. The turbo will receive a rebuild as it leaks a small amount of oil.

I noticed this stream of oil from behind the headlight after removal... almsot looks like a stream of tears after I tore her heart out... how poetic..

Block out:

Intersting find with the clutch, factory pressure plate, exedy clutch disc, intersting, quite burnt, looks like it was replaced without machining. crack in the disc itself, the pressure plate had seen better days to, the throw out bearing was eating it away at a nice pace.

Today was about cleaning the block so there was no oil on it, it will get a full reseal so there will be no more oil leaks... Thanks to Dan for showing up and giving me a hand. turned out not to bad:
