well, i learned friday that the government doesnt love me enough to give me tons of money for finacial aid...so i get to pay over 7k every 10 weeks(semester length) not all of it becuase my mom is "paying for it" but i know ill have to help her out some....at least pay for some books.
back to the build: friday i came home to a super clean garage....my gradma like organized all my tools on some shelf she put down there and sweept the floor spotless and all kinds of stuff...its so clean now....i wont have to trip over things to get some work done.
also...spent a little time cleaning up my block a bit...nothing crazy just little chunks of mud in some nooks by the where the head would be.....im not even going to ask "dudes96" how that happend when i get home ill see if i cant get my camera and snap some pix....after i get back from the doctor
btw: im looking for a motor stand...i think im going to have to buy one on ebay...or harbor freight....no one around here has a stand..only a hoist. If some one could hook me up id be pretty happy!

*UPDATE*
So...now that summer is in full swing, i get to work pretty much full time, resulting in....LOTS MORE MONEY TO PLAY WITH! i work 4 to 5 days a week on second shift...witch pretty much sux because i stay up till 3 or 4 am and sleep till noon, which gives me about 3.5 - 4 hr. before i have to work and when i get off at 10 or 11, im left with a wal-mart for auto parts and stuff...and about all they have is over priced motor oil. any whoo....not much progress has been made on the MOTOR yet. but, i did order harnesses today, just too keep people in safely, and ill be getting a motor stand this week, with rods/bearings and a set of mains to follow...then next pay check, we should be looking at new pistons...which leads me to a question...are the Vitras (sp) made by Nippon? because i seen a set on ebay with rings and all that good stuff, even an oil filter for dirt cheap, but they said nippon on the box....but said vitrias as well...so, if its ligit...im all over them tomorrow...but if not...oh well.
