wish things were coming together in a positive way for me.. I am in the thick of it now, no light at the end of the tunnel...

at least my 500 buck, new-to-me trans is in and seems to mechanically sound. no time to wash the darn thing or even put some of the trim panels back in place. still rolling around with a 12mm ratchet in the car... have a big brake kit for me evo collecting dust for a month now.

Car started but its way way ruff I gave it a little gas and it died. Talking to Ron and he hopes to have it completely tuned by end of next week. I am still pissed about being blindsided by the bill. Almost makes me wish I went to DB instead at least they were upfront with the *** rape cost, not saying we can do it for $5,000 and then give me a $11,000 bill that doesn't even include tuning charge....UGH. Over 2 months car still isn't done $6,000 over what they said and its been back and forth to their storage garage more times than i can count.
