WickeD Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 He got the cops called on his car for it being "Inoperable" sitting outside his house Now he has some more incentive to get it running
Cdizzle Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Posted September 14, 2007 this is one INCREDIBLE looking restoration......you guys should be proud of the hard work and what has become of it. VERY nice. EFF man.... I wish we were proud of this. The guy that rebuilt the engine didnt line up the cam bearings so oil is not making it through my engine. Engine gets pulled again tomorrow, ripped apart this weekend, and HOPEFULLY but not expecting it to happen, should be out monday and back in by monday night... EVERYONE PLEASE CROSS YOUR FINGERS.... After everything is in and working im going back to the fucker that put the engine together and getting some monday back. this turned into a 3 week engine rebuild to going on 3 months...... imagine how I feel when he told me 3 weeks and now it turned into months... Damn Thiefs
FieroGrande Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 Sucks to hear about it taking so long!
Cdizzle Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Posted September 22, 2007 Engine is back at the shop where we are working on the car, so I dont have to deal with the stupid ass that rebuilt it anymore, HOPEFULLY. That is if I can get oil all the way through it... I start the install tomorrow NIGHT should be done before I got to work sunday afternoon. Damn Thiefs
Cdizzle Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 Engine is back in for the 2nd time... Did it ALL today... Started at 10AM got done at 6PM.... dad lost the f'ing motor mount nuts.... so my engine motor mount brackets are through the hole on the cross member holding it up, but I dont think im going to drive it till I get those damn nuts.... Anyways PLEASE HELP ME PRAY THIS PROJECT IS OVER. I would appreciate it. Damn Thiefs
Cdizzle Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Posted September 25, 2007 Drove it around today, temperatures are fine, oil pressure is fine. but im not going to jinx myself yet... Oh and of course the sub sounds BEA utiful. Damn Thiefs
