haha thanks for all the kind words everybody, this project is taking forever because of the lack of money and my lack of knowledge/skill, but if all goes well (which probably wont) i should have the motor in on wednesday and it should fire up on saturday. since i am 17 years old i am hoping to get this thing running by august 29th, which is when i start my senior year of high school. then i hope to have the nessasary fabrication done for a clean install of the ITBs and the standalone fuel management up and running by october. i thank you all again for the support you have shown me throughout this project, i cant wait till i can finally drive this thing, haha.

so today i got me a valve spring compressor and some rubbing compound to lap the valves and what not, spent pretty much the whole day cleaning valves. also got around to lowering my car a little more, removed 2 collars and the such, also test fitted my wheels on my friend's car. and heres a pic of "the shop" a shed we use to work on our cars haha. (half my car in the foreground)
