Well I'll start this build project thread with my new camera. Just got it a few days ago and its a canon powershot sd1000 and its so much better.

Heres an background on the car. Got it around september last year. In december the engine seized. That sucked. Now I'm rebuilding the engine with a few modifications.

3/29/07.
Heres where the car sits today. Ive ripped out a few things off the engine to prepare for the teardown. I dont have much time always so it goes in random stages. Here's the pics.

Slowly but surely...

When do you plan to yank the motor out of the sucker?

we're pulling the engine at my friend's house. and he has a trailer full of gravel there. so as soon as that moves I will be pulling the engine. Maybe next week?
 
schweet, well good luck - hope you dno't make nasty discoveries once she's out.

I'll be putting my project thread up soon "How to fix your front end damage - an amateur at work". But only when it's all done.
 
you got a welder??? pimp

ive had a welder just didnt know how to use it. My dad showed me. Its pretty easy. Just making it look better is the tricky part. And doing some of the complex stuff.

doug and brandon,
i still have the motor, just need to find time in my busy schedule to go down and arrange something with the guy that runs the machine shop. Brandon, shoot me a PM this weekend or sometime next week and let me know what you want to do.
