Well its been a while but i am back for now - just to let you all know that iI rebuilt my replacement engine and have finally gotten the old motor out . It was a biatch doing it alone but somehow i managed it - You can all see some of the newest photos of my old engine out and the partially rebuilt engine sitting on blocks being washed - i will post more as i get them ooh ohhh yeah i almost forgot - complete front end suspension replacement -- IT LOOKS SOOOO NICE NOW!!! WOOT

 

Congrats!!!! Hopefully it is done soon.

 

OK everyone you can all see the mess ive got on my hands now - got the ridge reaming , honing and a good bath done on the newish motor just about got it all together now - a few more days after work and if my parts arrive on time i hope to do a first start by Saturday next -- i am looking for 1 part that i dont seem to be able to locate - -- its a rubber bump stop under the trans mounted to the subframe right on top of the driver side control arm - if anyone knows where to get one id be glad to know where from
