    To bad we don't all live in Dinver. If we did we could all come over and have a engine install day.

    Sleek Motoring gets to see the Rat-MINI tonight! Too bad I cant push it out in the sun. :(

    The "snow" we got last night, turned out to just be a couple water spots on the already filthy Porker... 50ish degrees and not a cloud in sight for most of the day! :)

    Looks like all of Dave.0's nagging and pissing me off has worked out good for him...

    Ran into some problems, and unfortunately there is NO WAY for me to get the Rat-MINI done before April. :cryin:

    So it looks like I will be rolling into Fontana in the Porker this year.

    Thanks Dave, all your pointless nagging about a car you have no control over, to the point where I don't want to work on it has paid off!

    Thanks.

    Right now I dont know how long its going to have to sit again... :(

    The main engine wiring harness isnt exactly the cheapest part, and if I cant get the broken crank pulley bolt drilled out, this engine might be a total NO-GO. :(

    Did you strip the crank pulley bolt or did it come to you asis? That sucks!

    What happened to the wiring harness, RATS? :devil: (rat-rod)

    Sorry to see the troubles, at least you got to see Cait!

    Drywall aside, this still blows.

    How many hundreds does that wiring harness cost? Can you splice and dice or is that the road to a flatbed?

    Sucks, I was hoping to see the RR at a local C&C before you drove down to the Dragon.

    Not sure on the cost of the harness, but I know they aren't cheap or easy to replace! :(

    Motor side of the harness?

    Let me go see what I can find, the ones I have had in the past I have sold for about 100$ so they are not that bad.

    The pain in the dick, is the interior harness, it weighs about 45#'s and is a monster.

    Sorry can not help with the seized bolt, PB Blaster I guess. I had to do my wheel bearings, and I busted two pullers getting it off, and a lot of PB Blaster but I got it, and it was not even the BAD ONE! Doh! well at least they are both changed now.

    All these years, and all that BS when I was screwing around with the POS's at Mynes, has taught me to do it right or not at all. ;)
