Two and a quarter years or so and she's finally displacing air again, 2.4 liters at a time.   I drove her outside for a bath.  Ignore the little plastic bag on some of the wiring and the loose PTU sitting on the UICP, they'll get fixed soon.  












That's some of the wiring mess I've been digging thru to find the cause of my no spark.

Thanks guys.  

It won't be the fastest anymore tho because nobody around here will wait up for me...  :cry:  John went and got rid of his 14b, Scott has a turbo the size of my head and AWD now, Meron is back.. at least old man Fraser is resting on his 12.000001 laurels  :P

It might be the cleanest tho... I'd eat off it but it would get dirty  8)

HP should be around 350-400whp I hope.  I did everything including the paint except for the head + block machine work and bottom end assembly, I owe many thanks to Mike Meron for that.  I also owe many thanks to Ryan Lore for selling me such a great platform to work on.  Both those guys are great, have been around forever and have forgotten more than most newbs know.  Which is something to keep in mind if they get short with someone new.
