I'm back!!

Back from Estonia... boy did that trip suck. Worked between 13-15 hrs every day and we still just ran out of time to get the engine rebuilt in time. They delayed the ship for 2 days and left today. I left there on Sunday because there was not enough work left to keep 3 guys busy so I opted to come home a see the kid. I'm glad to be home.

I'll post some pics ater when I get my laptop fired up I'll post a few from there.

The flights sucked. I never want to fly that long again. Comming home was bad but better than the trip there. My flight into London was late and I missed the flight home to Philly. I found out why the tickets were so cheap then... they were all booked by the customer thru their travel agent. They bought individual flights instead of a "thru" ticket. That meant that the ticket I had for teh missed flight was only good to use with the exact same flight tomorrow and it was already full... So I bought a buisness class flight to Newark NJ for $480 pounds, which is just under $1000 in USD.

Anyway I am home and now I can try to get back to work on the car. Hopefully I can get a sound clip or vid up for you in the near future.

COOL!!!!!


Wait until you see the work Pampered-z and I did on your engiee while you were gone. We're thinking about another 30 hp at the front wheels!!! The red was hard to remove so we just sprayed painted over it. Hope you don't mind.

Hey Mod-Father, John and I attempted to do the Line Locks last night. You by chance have a brake line stretcher???? Seems like the short line in the kit is for an LS1. :(

B,
Gee, glad to hear you're back. So, um...When you got a free Saturday or Sunday coming up??? Still gotta drop the motor in "Project Purple".
