Morning everyone.
I have been sick for the last 2 days.
I went home at 10:30 on Monday with a pretty bad cold/flu.
I'm assuming it was a cold since it seems to be mostly gone.
Spent yesterday on xbox most of the day.
Now I'm back at work.
FYI - check out the new screen name
I know it will be a little confusing at first, but you'll get use to it.
It's my license plate, and the screen name I use on all the other forums I'm on.
Since I've asked several mods, I'm not totally sure who to thank for the screen
name change that I've been trying to get done for about 6 months.
But, I'm sure Jedi had something to do w/ it also, so thanks Jedi and whichever mod changed it.
I know they don't like to change screen names for people, but I was foolish
enough to sign up w/ my real first and last name when I signed up.
The junk mail is getting overwhelming, so I'm working on removing my real name from any sites possible.

Cesar, glad you like the new screenname. I was chatting it up with one of the Admin's yesterday so I asked if they could take care of that for you. (I PM'd you the name)
As long as you don't change the screenname, it'll be good. I don't know about you guys but I rarely look at screen names, I identity more with the avatars that people use. Last year's Jack-An-Avatar day REALLY threw me for a loop. I didn't know WHO the hell was posting half the time.
Sounds kinnda like the bug that got me about 3 weeks ago Cesar. Ugly cough, body aches, but no fever. It was really weird, I rested for a few days (aka lots of PS3) and then I was fine on monday. Glad you're feeling better

is that the old "drop the car on the motor" trick?

The motor must go in from underneath.
You need to get the back end really high up to do it. But then it needs to come back down a little so when the engine goes in it doesn't tip rearward. (look at the jack-stand location) It took 3 of us a couple hours to get 2 motor mounts in. But now everything else is just pluggin stuff in and connecting hoses.
This is a shot while standing through the sunroof.
The engnine mount is underneath that battery tray on the right hand side. What a Bi*c4 that was

we got sick when we made the tri state run.
my dog got really sick also, we all got something from victorville.
somebody up there had a nasty bug, anyway my
dog was so sick we had to give him to the shelter
to !!!!!. he was only 10 months old, so now i have
a small stuffed animal that looks like he did...

It needs a bunch of little things still.
throttle cable
axle nuts/pins
welding an engine mount
exhaust
and WAY too many wires to be mentioned.
I am hoping within the month it will be running.

i remember the older cars, not too old thu.
but you could drop an engine in and have it running
in the same day, with everything connected.
makes me remember why i gave up working on cars..
