Will do! I tend to forget as my hands are usually full of muck and end up messing up my phone, but I will try and document things for you all the way.

I hear ya! There is no tellin' how much hand soap I have used to create this thread.

Work on car.......wash hands.....grab camera.....take picture of progress.....Repeat process. It is very clear now why it has taken so much time to do this project.

Disposable gloves could be a godsend so ! ?

They tear in no time and leave this white powder everywhere which is a bitch to clear!

You must be using medical gloves. There are plenty of non-medical nitrile gloves that have good tear resistance and NO power. When I use gloves (on jobs that do not require tactile feed-back), I use either blue or black nitrile gloves. Work fine.

Not very easy to find in stores. + medical gloves are more accessible to me

Still toying with different engine mounts over the weekend. AAN version fits in the body, but unsure about how it will work out in the end. I need a place holder so I can get the engine installed. Once I find a proper mount I can swap it out. Left mount is easy even with the engine installed.

Got a surprise from the painters last week......middle door trims! Got them installed. Odd that the smaller wing trims did not have adhesive strips installed. No worries though, I keep a roll around.





Some tape to ensure things in stay place until they get settled in.





I installed the lower trims also, but neglected to snap a pic. Will do later.

Read Post 1087 above. Tom is still looking for the proper RS2 engine mounts.

034 does make an offset mount for the RS2:
