I did make some head way on this thing this weekend. It is being kind of a pain however.

I had to remove the front crossmember ans build a new one. Now I have the engine sitting where I want it and need to build engine mounts and an engine crossmember. I had to remove the exhaust manifold and turbo because the turbo outlet was in my broken heater housing. LOL While I was removing the manifold, 5 of the 12 bolts broke.

Great more work.
