my first engine build off
my first engine build off Well after being rip off by a mechanic that was supposed to rebuild my engine, and after 3 months of having the car, he didn't do anything. I decided to take the challenge and do my first build off. It took me almost 2 months working only on saturdays to completed But it was worth it and the feeling after finishing it myself is so great now. Here are some pictures, just finish this saturday, I will post a video later on today.
