sooo tired

updated 10/05/08

This blurry image is of a 1995 Chevy full sized van, sans engine. This is what I did at work today and some of yesterday. The "new to you" engine is back in it now, but only just. There's still a good day or so of work left.

I dislike Chevys right now.

Cracked

Rattles

I almost forgot. I got this van back together on, umm, the next Tuesday?
and the "new to you" engine was knocking internally.
The customer called the guy who sold him the engine, and the guy supposedly is going to buy the whole van with his crappy engine in it, rather than give him another one and pay us for the second and any subsequent installation.
So
The van is still sitting in our parking lot. I don't know if the shop got paid for the job yet or not. I hope so. I got paid.

sparky derby

bump

Dreya's Lebaron is going to the Demo-Derby!
date pending

Oct. 24th
depending on if enough 6cyls show up to compete... or Vern may may have to try to run it in a 4cy class heat. He ran the Buick in an 8cy class heat w/ a V6, but it was a yacht. Sparky's just a bit smaller so it should do well in a 4cy class heat.
/edit/

Vern just sent me the email about its imminent destructive prowess.

Now Quoting Vern:

Hi Fellas,

Please pass these pics along to the girl that used to own Sparky. I spent all weekend getting her ready for the demo derby and now, there's not much left to do but wire down the hood and trunk. And to think, I built this car in a total of 3 days!
