Ding Ding, Round 2
I think Johnny hopes to be here.
I'm double checking today that th intake and suspension parts will be here in time.
Also, remember, I have to leave at 6.00.
Sorry Matt, I cannot leave you here tinkering with the FAST

Well we finished the spark wires. I got the rear brake caliper put together and installed. Got the starter motor installed (Cory it WAS a ground wire).
Had some trouble getting the dipstick put back in.
Then moved onto the intake manifold. (I'll put some pictures up a bit later) Matt had some trouble getting the manifold to line up with the AFR bolt holes but he made it. Removed the EGR stuff. Plugged in the Hovbbes switch into the manifold.
I had to leave at 5.15 for my fathers 60th dinner party, but I believe Matt stayed for another 2 hours to finish things up. What a guy.
. It only cost me three beers and 3/4 of a large MacCain Delissio pizza. 
My next problem is dealing with both the UPPER and the lower control arms. the folks that removed the bushings completely screwed it up. Not only did they destroy the upper arms, mike and I weer starting to put the lowers together and found that one of the steel sleeves and three of the cap washers are missing.
I'll have to call about that but I bet they destroyed them taking them out. Bloody idots. Now i have to try and find the LOWER control arm steel sleeves.

Ah the joys of fixing cars huh Shaun? Hope it all goes easy as possible with the lower control arms. btw did you remember to put a nut on the large ground wire in the same wire bndle as the + battery cable? down in behind the passengerside control arm.
