Car's back ...

[BlackVert]

... for the moment. damn thing still doesn't shift right

$3500 to rebuild the tranny, take the headers, steering column and sway bar off and put them back on, screw around with the shifter, install the brake upgrade, and fumble around with the wiring for a few hours.

the mid-length headers arrived today

i have the mm adjustable control arms in the trunk

the manual valve body is on order

it's sitting in the street in front of my house and i am afraid to drive it

i just want to be able to get in the car and go somewhere without any hassles

2 more months, 4 thousand dollars, and still no progress

will this nitemare ever end?

 

[Iggyshane]

I wish you the best of luck on this and hopefully its something simple. After all the work and trouble you have gone through you deserve it to be done by now

 

[69clark]

You have absolutely the worst luck. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy it soon.

No! Guero has.

 

[Pokageek]

I think your manual valve body will solve the issue. Take heart in that and sell some old parts so you feel better!

 

[reddy351]

Makes me want to sell off all the hotrod parts that I WAS going to put on my mine. It may not be fast, but it starts, runs and drives just fine.

Sorry, Black. I hope you get it together, soon.

 

[HISSIN50]

So what if it's not running optimally. I'd just drive it easy and enjoy it till the new stuff arrives.


Kinda miss the old 5 speed set-up dont ya?

Good luck!

i think i take the cake for bad luck... been scammed a few times.. bought a saturn only to have it have 2 dead cyls.. .now neither of my cars are working right...

 

[BlackVert]

you guys are right. guero and adam have both been through the ringer more than have i.

and at least i sold some of the parts from my 331 buildup ... the heads, the intake, and the cam

that manual VB had better solve the problem

maybe i'll drive it gently a little

 

[urban96]

i wouldnt risk the trans, that would be another hefty bill

 

[final5-0]

You have been through a lot Chris

Hope it all comes together for you ... SOON

That was a bunch of stuff to change all at once

You'd have to expect a few bugs would need to be worked out :Word:

but

Man O Man ... You seem to have had more than your fair share of em

Hang in there my friend

HE has recently had a child?! That musta hurt.


Chris, Adam and Guero need vacations as far from each other as possible. That much hard luck in one spot might cause problems.

Just a thought.

 

[Guero]
