As you can see the das is in very good condition.  It has the original radio, although it doesn't work.  It has the original clock that works!  There's a crack in the windshield that goes about 3/4 the way up the windshield.  The front seats have cracks in them from years of wear and tear but overall the interior looks good.

Here's a picture of the interior.  You can see the leather peeling around the back window but the rear seats and door panels look good.

Here's a picture of the engine installed in the car.  Next comes the torque converter and transmission.  I hope to have time for that next week.

I know it doesn't look like much changed but there's a good 10 hours of work from the last picture to this one.  I installed the transmission and driveline, starter, intake and exhaust manifold, exhaust downpipes, exhaust mufler and tailpipe, airbox, throttle body, radiator, battery, throttle linkage, injector linkage, transmission linkage, spark plugs, distributer cap and wires, new battery terminals and wire,  new radiator hoses, new heater hoses,  new breather hose, new bypass hose, and new vacuum hoses.  I hooked up the oil cooler lines, transmission cooler lines, power steering lines, and timed the distributer.  Then I hooked up most of the electrical components using new wire where I could.  Well, I think that about covers it.

It took 1 hoist, 1 winch and 1 person (me) 2 hours to set the engine.  Here's a picture of the engine in the car.  Next comes the torque converter and transmission.  I hope to have time for that next week.
