Not so much bugs but just details. I redid the wiring for the engine and ditched the old relay board, made a custom wiring harness with new relays for fans, water pump, and ignition. Installed new 180# springs. Welded up the old rear reflector holes and repainted and buffed the panel to match the rest of the car. Fixed my ignition switch and steering wheel lock mechanism. Repaired the horn contacts. Mounted the rear view mirror on the windshield. Finished hookup of the charcoal canister on the gas tank. Put on new BMW front brake pads (still had the old pads on the calipers from the junkyard) and routed heater hoses inside the longs. Meanwhile the engine is at the machine shop getting freshened up. Had the block baked and shot-peened and bored another .010 over (now .040 over - about a 357 cu. in.) for new flat-top pistons (had the old 'smog' pistons in it). New crank, rods and bearings and fully balanced. Full pocket-porting on the heads, and having the pistons, bearings, valves, and springs all surface treated for low friction and thermal barrier coatings. Should have parts back next Monday and I can reassemble the engine and get it back in the car. Then, maybe, finally ... it will be done. Except of course for the A/C, heater, CD/MP3 sound system, 911 5-bolt upgrade, etc. etc. ....
