Hey everyone.. The time has finally came.. I've had my car for 6 years now.. And have came a long way.. From making my car stock to looking like a beast.. Now finally i'm swapping a 3rd gen 3s into her and completing the beast.. March 13 was my start date.. Took my hood and front bumper off and drove it down to my dads shop. Here are some pics

Next thing was taking the awd trany off and getting the engine on a stand. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Few pics of engine on the stand. Next we took the intake manifold and throttle body off to get my wiring harness off ![]() Can see the harness laying on the ground lol. Then we started to take the timing cover off. Did our marking, and started taking cam gears off, valve cover off, Heat shields, and took my oil pans off. Here are pics of us doing them things. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After we did that.. We put the new oil pump on. And the new Water pump. And re-sealed both the oil pans.. Here are a couple pics of that getting done ![]() ![]() This pic is with new idler pulley and tensioner pulley, new water pump oil pump. And replaced cam seals. Put cams on And ready for timing belt.. as of now what we have done.. New cam seals, new oil pump, new water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, new timing belt.. And the timing all put back together. And re sealed both oil pans.. This last sunday. I got my valve cover back, put that on.
