Bloody hell. You must be exhausted! Time for a spot of tea then, eh? Maybe some Earl Grey and a crumpet to boot? JK... I love the humor!
Ha!

It was steessful - getting the light cluster out, balancing it on the bumper, twisting the fitting to get it out. Had to have a lie down half way through to recover from the first stages...

PS I'm probably the only British person that hates tea and crumpets... Now a toasted tea cake on the other hand... :)

Looks like a bagel with no hole :D

But you know what Chevy Chase says "a donut with no hole, is a danish".

Did some coolant things today. Cartek air bubble sensor on upper radiator hose, and had someone TIG weld some big -24 flanges on the lower radiator outlet as well as the thermostat housing inlet (with the actual thermostat removed before welding of course). Then I fabbed up the -24 braided hose. Boy that hose was a bi0tch to install. I'll have to thoroughly observe its operation while I do the first fire and first few test runs because that hose is a lot stiffer than I thought it would be. If I don't get a good feeling about it, I may scrap it and use a pushlock deal instead with traditional rubber hose, then just overbraid it with nylon and heat shrink for looks. Then again, I'm still hopeful as the motor sits on poly mounts and shouldn't sway around too much.

Decided to start on the diff cooler setup with welding some shock mount studs for the pump. Also got a little radiator in there and I'll be mocking up a mix of hard lines and soft lines with some quick disconnects for ease of maintenance and future disassembly. Also got a bit of heat shielding beneath the ported 2018 intake. Progress in little steps.
