I got my engine back from Jake this week and it looks GREAT. If it runs as good as it looks, I'll be happy. The down side is that I have busted my a** for the last week getting the engine bay in shape before I install the engine. We had to replace an engine shelf and repair a few rust areas in the bay. While we were repairing the engine bay, why not fix the rusted areas on the longitudes. Oh yeh, let's go ahead and install that stiffining kit while we're at it. We really should just go ahead fix that rusted area around the door receiver area, ect....... I just did the grunt work while the pros did their work, welding. I'm so sore, I can hardly sit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I don't have any before pictures (sorry) but here are some pictures of the almost finished project. Really just need to do a little more grinding and cleaning, then paint. I hope that the stiffening kit was worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thanks guys for your comments, support and encouragement. It means alot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) . The fact is, I read this board every day and follow the progress on your projects as well. I can't tell you how helpful you all have been by identifing issues with these vehicles as well as offering outstanding solutions. I have never seen another board whereby so many people freely pass on helpful information. I guess that I just wanted to issue a formal THANK YOU to everyone that makes up this 914 Club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
BTW, grinding is done, painting starts tomorrow, pictures to follow. Rick |
