After almost 4 months of down time, my GSX is back up and running again. My dad has been putting it back together for me and finally finished today. I've been getting phone calls this past week (every night) about how much he hates the car.
Backstory: I tried doing a timing job back in May and ended up not setting it properly and bending the valves. I ended up getting the mustang in my sig and leaving the eclipse with my parents until I could figure out what to do with it.
In a moment of situation irony, my dad called me up to tell me that he got it all back together, the engine turned with little resistance and he was ready to fire it up, but somehow he lost the keys. 6 hours later, I got a phone call with the receiver on my dad's side next to the running motor.
I'd like to send a special shout out to Talon69. Without your help, the car probably would have never run again. Thanks!
All that's left for it is to polish it up, finalize the deal, and send it off to its new owner.
