Build thread - everyone else is doing .

[isthatguy]

And the teardown / engine removal begins!

 

[BeachMonkey100]

Get at it! seems like it's going good so far!

 

[isthatguy]

Motor is out. Also have the transmission seperated the biggest issue we ran into is we couldn't get it out with the headers attached so we had to take those off first. That took the most time. I really hope we can get the motor back in with headers installed. That will be a pain in the dick to reinstall the headers again with the motor in the car.

see a new fender on that...

Just say fuck it.. pull the motor too? lol. Kinda like this commercial

 

[isthatguy]

Yeah some jackass hit my car in a parking lot. And left the scene

 

[BeachMonkey100]

[isthatguy]

nope, havnt wrapped up tearing apart the motor, but I ordered a flywheel and some suspension pieces lol. I gotta stop buying crap the wife is going to KILL ME!

 

[BeachMonkey100]

lol I am near that stage with the girlfriend, lately I haven't told her whats been coming in and everything has been coming to work instead of the house

 

[isthatguy]

Yeah same here. My tr6060 will be here tomorrow at work. And I'm gonna just switch them in my garage and hide the old one behind my car. She does not know about that 1500$ purchase gotta love a car slush fund!

Lol.. glad I am not the only one. I can hide about $2k/month but that takes a bit of work especially when parts are always showing up

Yeah, would have gone far in a government job lol.

I have a "me" account I direct deposit into every month... she does too

 

[isthatguy]

Same for me. But mine is only about 1k a month. :/

 

[BeachMonkey100]

lol I have only a "me" account so in that case I guess I could call myself lucky

 

[isthatguy]

lol yeah! Marriage takes all the fun of car money away . I'm glad my wife is pretty understanding of my hobby tho!

Y'all are funny. I've got guys in my car club that have their parts delivered to my office and then come to my house to hang out and do the switcheroo in my shop. Wives never know the difference because they don't see the boxes.
