Good Luck to you. It looks like it is basically sorted though.

 

hey rod what do you do any way?

 

We were looking at that but the bore/stroke are different meaning some other parts need to be swapped.

I am just a lowly painter.

 

lowly my ass

 

Doc you are sending this message via your cell/blackberry, right?
I mean you have got to almost be here by now. How slow do you drive anyways.

















ps #8,000 :whoppie:

 

I just got off work...if I had known I wouldn't get selected for chief, I'd have taken more vacation. Now I have to wait until the 15th.

 

It's okay, 06black never brought me his car to drive either

So not being made chief sucks??????

 

yea...I have to wait until January to take another test to be eligible....then the waiting game begins all over again.

 

you could be the cool guy on the block and buy my 240z and import it into canada.

it still runs!

 

Yes that would suck, unless you get to blow crap up in the mean time.

 

what year is it again..??
I'd love to...maybe I can get with a unit temporarily that will let me....hhmm

 

oh man...

 

Sadly, I am running out of disposable income and if the truth be known, I have never been cool.

 

Ah ok well good luck with that then. And it sucks about the set back.

 

we have this great job opportunity....think about painting a 42,000 ton warship...we need an estimate on the cost to paint it haze grey....all of it

Things will work out...I know it.

 

1970 series 1 240

i might have it sold this weekend. depending on what happens

speaking of which. rod, wanna send me your tvs

 

^ pretty sure thats the last thing you need

holy crap man... everytime i hear something about this project, it's not good. i'm sorry. i wanna see this done! i will drive up there to see this when it's completed! (not to mention take the tvs so i can have an upper hand over bry )

 

I can do that. Send it up here and I will get right on it. Industrial coatings are a breeze.



I think that soon enough I should start running into good luck unless of course, I die first.
Wouldn't that be just my luck, a major coranary on the flight to get my car.

 

Okay so the engine has has the first part of the repair done, as well as the Zyglo testing to ensure the block was not further damaged.
The engine should be shipping home Tuesday morning.
Here is a picture of the repair.

 

nice good luck on getting it and getting it in and running asap

 

Looks good rod, hope to see it running soon!

 

I hope to be driving it soon too. I am really tired/bored of driving my pickup (sorry truck lovers )

 

Damn Rod that looks great. Glad there was a fix for it when thinking outside the box!

 

Thanks to tityrous as directed me straight to the place to buy the plate. Now if the engine would hurry up and get home.
