Talking pulling the 1.8 tonight

Wish us luck! everything should go fine. i think the biggest problem is getting the engine hoist out. we mangaged to get it wedged into the corner for storage.
i am very excited. work went by soooo slow today. eric isn't home from work yet but i am going to go get started and attack all the 10 mm bolts. i start school tomorrow (yikes!) so we are going to have to get another car running for me to drive during the install. so tongiht is gonna be remove, inspect and clean, clean, clean!!!
over the past week i've removed my backseat, put in the integra back seat. it's not in the right way just yet, just sitting in there but it fits and looks great!! I took out my rear deck last night and recovered it in grey carpet so from a glance my car looks almost normal with the grey interior. eric put on the integra side mirrors and the black trim doesn't cover perfectly(you can see a screw) but they were a bonus with the motor so i'm just gonna cut some black abs plastic to finish it off. the pass. side mirror rocks even though i forget it's there half the time!
ummmm... i think that's it. THANK YOU to all of you for renewing mine (mostly eric's) enthusiasim with my honda. i just texted eric asking if we could borrow his dad's camera tonight. i have 8 rolls of film waiting to be dropped off so i think it would be faster to borrow a digital camera. i don't want to see the "this thread is worthless without pics" thing come up again. you'll have pics soon enough!
alright, outside i go!!

edit...one more thing...eric got a super bright white LED pen light from the tool truck at work. we put back together his 2.6 the other night and after we started it up and looked inside the head.....we thought we had coolant in there and almost freaked out. the LED pen light makes the oil look greenish, almost like coolant. so just FYI
