I'm still sitting here in disbelief. I rebuilt an engine...a Porsche engine. I can't even get my kitchen cabinet doors to hang straight.

I've just gotta locate a radiator drain plug ASAP so I can fill it up and gooooooo.

Mega-congrats, Dave! I'm glad you rescued your shark. It's now better than ever -- and you have all reason to be prouder than ever. Have fun at SITM!!!

Dave:

Totally awesome!!! I haven't rebuilt a motor in 20 years and have only done two in my life. I'd forgotten what a sweet moment it is when it lights up, and even better when it runs properly. CONGRATS!!

Awesome Dave, thanks for the vids. That's a huge rush, getting a project to that point, isn't it? Now hopefully your lifters will all pump up fine... and your new drain plug will hold up... and... and...

Dave man, I am sure I can speak for the group when I say we're proud of you dude. You are among only a few who has undertaken this kind of project and successfully completed it. You can stand side by side with McVic. Have a great time at SITM.

Dave - Oh what a feeling!!! Good for you. Now buy flowers for your wife, take her out for a VERY expensive dinner, and order the best champagne that you can afford!!!
