Default Some Upgrades
I had to pull my engine after owning the car for about a month due to a broken starter tab on the block. I figured while it was out I'd do some upgrades. I hope to have it running within the next few weeks. Here are some pics so far.

Looking good man!
I finally got around to pulling mine out as well. I pulled it out Sunday afternoon! Thanks for loaning me the tool, even though my lazy a$$ never got around to using it!

You don't win anything, you STILL have a car with no brakes.
