| Got to love those GPs. That 3800 is so easy to pull, even though it's FWD. |

I think your engine was in there sideways! you should fix that before you put it back in.

Looks like you're having lots of fun.  But let me ask, how are you going to get cool scars with those gloves on your hands? You missed out on the best part of the job.... bloody knuckles and cuts in the skin at the top of the finger nails (we all know those little slits sting).  |

You have to. The way the tranny mount is and the subframe is, you just have to.
