what were your car experiences when taking on the project..
lets say 1 is you didnt even change your own oil, 5 is being able to change your timing belt and 10 is doctor tweak (<3) what would you rate yourself? how long did it take? what was the most frustrating part? (besides wiring, because my harness is already complete) PS. doc if you read this, i still wann have the swap done by you, because of your crudentials, i trust you, and i know everything would be done right.. but my friends have some good points and are really trying to make me do this myself! thanks all -brian |

you could probably just take that path and draw the way the 90 degree bents were placed.. with paint or something, since im a big moron and dont know what to do now haha.
