well, the car is one step away from driving, but with moving the shop and building out offices I haven't had time to look at the car. Hopefully one evening this week I can pull the valvebody out and see what the problem is.

Ah ok. I had no idea you were moving locations. I figured you were on vacation (from the place where every one else goes on vacation) or got it running good and mowed over a few palm trees.

GL with the move.

i noticed i haven't posted many pics lately. These were taken a few months ago, all the intercooler pipes are done. We are pulling the trans and putting another in to get the car running.

It goes against everything I stand for but it's for sale. My new toy is here and I have no time for this project anymore.
