3/09/2008
So today we went to go see if the f22 in my project lude was any good. To see if we can get it running, instead of having a totally dead car. and also to remove a/c and i was going to remove seats and do some covering of holes. and well this is what i found.
This was found on the bottom of the block in the middle, when we were draining the oil.
So we decied to take the head off and see what happened.
took out a/c and removed the radiator for now. Also removed the battery thingy since i'll be placing it in the back.
surprise number 2
covering up the hole so i don't get water inside...I need a glass sunroof asap
and more pics of my Baby

SO today i Towed her to where I'm staying. You can say my house now. Pulled everything out of the trunk and gutted all the side panels and shit out of there. I have a serious leaking problem...I so need to duct tape my tail light untill i can get the body work done. Is there another temp way around this untill i can get it fixed? I kinda washed her up a bit. But tommorow and this weekend I'll get into serious cleaning and the gutting out. I'm also hoping i can finish pulling out this piece of shit engine. I did manage to get the head off. BUT i can't lift it off by myself i need more clearance. I also did paint on of my valve covers. It's not done but I love the color!!!! Pretty much all i can think of. Here some pics!
Sorry i can't find my camera ...i got shitty cam pics...
