Bought the car two years ago from my older brother and it had blown coolant seals.
Drove it up until June of last year and it finally gave out.
Moved for a better job and it sat waiting for me to return; I promised I'd be back.
After six months I lost said job and moved back with a rebuilt engine that had "30,000" miles...
Finally got around to doing the engine swap last month, outside, in the weather....
First times are remember forever I guess......
First time I started the new engine I couldn't shift; the clutch I used was for the wrong car and I was hoping it'd work.
Second time I went to start it with the new clutch.... it was out of time bad....
Realized that I installed the CAS backwards, and I fixed it.
Now it is running well; still a little out of time... fixing it tmrw.
Got dark on me.
Oh... and I've got an exhaust leak.
