Some of you may have seen my posts about my rebuild project. I purchased a rather distressed '82SC in Dec/06. When I got it, the engine/tranny was out (PO took it to a mechanic who told him it needed a rebuild, PO didn't want to pay, so mechanic gave it back to him in pieces). I plan to do a complete restore. This winter I've been working my way thru the engine and transmission. At this point, the engine has been completely disassembled, cleaned and parts are back from machining - I will be starting reassembly this week. While I've been waiting for parts back from the machinist (Henry Schmidt did a very nice job on the heads), I rebuilt the CIS system, distributor, alternator, starter and transmission.
Here's a link to my photo blog that shows my progress.

This site is organized into sections and shows all photos taken during disassembly and reassembly. If anyone is doing a similar rebuild, you might find it useful if you forget how something is supposed to look.
I'll post a note to this thread every once in awhile when I make some progress.
Thanks to all of you for helping me thus far in this rebuild. I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions as I begin the process of reassembling the engine. Once the engine is back together, I'll set it aside and get started stripping the body.
