its been a second...

Hello blogger world, I am finally updating with some decent photos of what I have been up to in the garage and my life this last summer.


First off I pulled the motor and performance parts out of my 1991 Mitsubishi Galant vr4 #582/2000, in anticipation of a part-out due to extensive chassis rust.








The Motor made it to Chicago to its new home in an club member's gvr4 that was in need of a heart.

A tired rig resting in the soft streetlamp glow












Two random shots in chi-town











and look what we found on the way to south bend :D



Now we take a break and jump forward a few weeks from the trip to the city.

Dinner consisted of:
snap peas from the garden sauteed with ginger, shallots, tamari and a touch of honey.




Pork chops(yes again) speared with fresh garlic, and stuffed with apples and arugula butter.












Not quite back to the garage yet...
Deck build set me back a few days, sure is nice though!






















Now its to the north for a few days in and around Elk Rapids. Mostly just relaxing, too much in fact to take photos save canoeing the Platt River.



























Back at the garage, its time to remove the 2.0l n/a stock motor from my 1991 Mitsubishi Galant gsx automatic, to make a room for a new 2.4l n/a power-plant rescued from my late great 1992 Mitsubishi Expo wagon which I crushed at the beginning of the summer.






Out she comes!

2.0l out motor sharing space on my makeshift "engine bench" with the 2.4l waiting to be stripped and shipped to Auto Parts Machine in Ann Arbor.

More to come soon....
