pics of new engine, punchin-bag-fender and more

If you ever get upset while working on your car, invest in a punching bag, not a new fender…

here’s the new engine. Gotta get some Mean Grean and strip this valve cover down (I had just stripped the paint from my old one before I took it in, and they didn’t give it back, oh well)

here’s my car loaded down with a couple hundred pounds of stuff (my dad said over 300), picked up speed like crap but looks good lowered a bit :)

and here are some pics of my passenger front wheel, the guy who did my car for me said he couldn’t see anything bent so he just thinks its crazily out of alignment. We’ll see once I get a CV boot and my driver’s side tie rod done http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/334497AAAA0356.JPG

but its ok, i still used the crank and rod from it

instead of uninstalling the whole top half, i just left it all together, and i found a very technical place to leave it: a weight bench :) hey it worked

and finally, here is a little panaramic i did a while back of my dash, oh so pretty

you think the weight bench is ghetto? Heres my friends b20 block ... we were too stupid to figure out the damn engine stand so we propped the shit up with a recycle bin.

surprisingly i don't think i hit it that hard, atleast not in my eyes. i was trying to get something undone in the suspension and i guess i hurt my hand or something and said some bleeps and just wacked it once. a few seconds later i was like "why the hell did i do that?!" :banghead:

at least it aint as bad as my friends corolla ... he leaned against the part right behind his back door and its fucked ...

oh well he hit a pole so the front bumper is all hangin off too.

shit pisses me off..all the girls houses i go to have the weird ass drive ways where at the end the curb always sticks up higher the the drive way and the road goes down i dont get it so even tho my car isnt lowerd i still scrape my front bumper..every time..and i know one of these days its gonna tear right off..yes i know park in the street right..well i hate to paralell park

stali mine it the same way, but i guess since mine car is so damn high it doesn't hit:) actually, its not ramped a lot, but its enough that when you change your oil, it doens't all drain out
