She's in BITCHES!!!!
I stayed put in the shop a little too long today with the heat index coming up to 113* after lunch. It's 11am and it's already 91*, and I started at 9:15 today, BUT.....perseverance prevails!
Here's a few pics. I'll mount up the main motor mount (J mount) and the roll stops tomorrow morning, I hope. The trans mount has all of its bolts in but they aren't tight yet.

Both motor mounts and both roll stops are in and tight. I never had a DSM powertrain slip in this easy so I will remember what I did and in what order. So easy to get to stuff without the intake or exhaust on. I'm done today. Tomorrow the T-case and DS go in along with the front CV shafts (I hope) and then the mechanical stuff is just about buttoned up, leaving just the "small' stuff.
At that point, I can move her out of the lift bay and push her into the center bay, freeing up my lift again.

Nice progress Marty!!

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

TCase, DS, Front CV Shafts all in and tight and wheels are on again. Intake and exhaust come next but the humidity has stopped work for today. I feel very accomplished and I'm glad I have the tools to do the job as easy as possible!
My son lent a hand today, since he had the day off, so Thanks Son!

Oh yeah! I wonder what those 280R's are gonna do and sound like.....
And with my son's 88mm Precision Turbo, it should "haul the MAIL".....
We all know he will never give that thing up. He wants it autographed now.
