My Fun Sunday

When i first joined toymods i had trouble changing brake pads, i wasnt a very good mechanic, over the last 11 months i have learned to do many things, and over the last 3 weeks i even managed to build my own engine, something i would have never have attempted 11 months ago,
Yesterday was the end of a very steep learning curve
On saturday make the finishing touches to the engine
Sunday morning lift the engine with the crane and put it in place
slide the engine in after a little jiggling
Id just like to thank Michael (IRA11Y) for the million and one questions answered, and im sure he is glad its all over, and never wants to speak to me again 
See what happens when you join Toymods, thanks to everyone who has helped me out.

WOW!
I would love to be able to do something like that, where did you start? what sort of jobs did you start off with? or did you go all out and build the engine?
Thanks
Daniel

Nice work man...
I am in the same boat as you... I joined Toymods aswell as being a mechanic... I rebuilt my 4A-GE... It is a very simple motor to play with... Next, I want to maybe get a ZE, remove the supercharger and get a Garett T04 running in it's a place...

Very impressive work man. Good for you. I only wish I had a 4A-GE to rebuild (still recovering from stereo finances!). One day...
