boxkita Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I was doing so well getting the motor in the car. Then plans changed. Now I have 2 non-running wagons in the garage. I've given up on my current house and am buying something smaller with a huge garage. So some time in December, I'll be working on the wagon again.

boxkita Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Its been so long since I took the car apart, I forgot how it goes together. Found this short video - Still driving sonic. Ugh. It's still worth more than the wagon. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 in 2 years, they will be eligible for lucky dog racing. In 13 more years, they will be "classic", at least in WA. Garage is mostly done. Cleaning up construction debris. AAA will be transport both cars for $100 (4 services per year for $99), saving hassle of trying to winch cars up the driveway. Trying to get done before renters move in next week. I never realized those reality shows about first time flippers weren't total BS. Its been years since i did any remodeling work. Sitting at a desk pushing a mouse doesn't qualify you for manual labor. Still looking for another set of heads and top of engine parts collection for racecar motors. Still have to find all the missing parts for the street car (which is why it didn't get running in October's get-r-done weekend).

Rhitter Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Sitting at a desk pushing a mouse doesn't qualify you for manual labor. So much truth to this.

boxkita Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 3 months to get on the engine stand. Heads were less. I remember that now.

boxkita Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Where are you guys having your motor rebuilt that takes 3 months?? I had my SB shipped down to L.A. and returned in 7 days. seattle area not so good with machine shops that work on subie heads. the few shops that work on motors do average service, unless you are more than fb friends with owners. At least my experience has been that. The temptation to package up a pallet and send to a vendor to make better varies day-to-day. It's the tuning part that's spendy for me.
