On the wifes car,...

Whats left now for the motor swap:

I need to get a proper chip for it,.. the new injectors run UBER RICH and it likes to stall,.. good thing I have the right chip in my spare car thats getting stripped

after all this the end result with the chip - approx 205hp convertible that weighs about 3000lbs for the wifey
and a front motor mount is also needed.
