It took me 3 months total last summer. Removing the engine myself and shipping it to Kevin Landers. He needed 6 weeks. Shipped it back and reinstalled myself. Needless to say I only put 500 miles on the car before it went into winter storage. Just pulled her out this Saturday! ;>

 

3 years - 4 months and counting...


After all the bullshit she should be on the road again this month. If not, anyone want to buy a FD?

 

8 months so far...

 

1.5 months, first time on a 3rd Gen. Spent most of that time buying/looking for tools and parts(silicon hose, connectors, sensors etc.).

 

I think i might have to get an extra REW on a stand. I'd stab myself in the face with a hot waffle iron before I'd wait several months or more to drive my car again.

 

...waiting for Jim Lab to weigh in. Something like 5 years and 20K posts

 

Longer than that.

Me, so far 2 years, 7 months and still counting.

 

5 years, 2 months.

Who ever invented the mindset of "Hey the motor is down, let me do one extra thing" should be dragged to the middle of a busy highway, kicked in the *****, and shot for seeding that thought in my mind. . . . bc that one thing has turned into me stripping the car and making a race car out of it. . . . .

I've loved every second of it too, so don't kick him too hard.

 

a thorw out bearing failure has spun me into a whirl wind of changes...

8 months & 2 days. Thats the longest this FD has ever sat.

 

Took 1.3 years for me. ******* insurance company issues and body work issues. Im still dealing with them, but at least i have my car back.

 

Wow at this thread

 

just one month so far but I am planning on getting it done by July.

 

That was my plan too, each year!

 

I bought mine 3 years ago without an engine and I am still working on it.

 

One and a half, but I have two motors now - its a long story documented on this forum. I have about 1500 on the rebuild. I feel confident that I did a good job rebuilding it myself.

Hopefully I won't have to wait anywhere near what yall guys waited. I'm only at the 2 month mark, but I don't see the car getting done soon(PFC back order/mechanic sick). I should have installed an Atkins reman. Oh well.

 

6 years. mainly because i keep modfying it and never finish it.

 

1 year 2 months... Half of that was time spent in Iraq and the other half waiting on an engine rebuild... Good luck to you guys who are still waiting for yours to be back on the road. Every day seemed like an eternity until my FD was back on the road. Then all the frustration of waiting vanished with the first full boost romp. (After a proper break-in of course)

 

I am almost up to 5 months... apex seal when through my engine and turbo's. Nearly up to $9000 australian dollars in cost...
