well if everything goes as planned i should have a freshly rebuilt engine in about 3 weeks. i got everything new except the block,crank and rods. 2g pistons on 1g big rods, ported head, maybe a set of web cams and lots of other small stuff. i had a hell of a time pulling it out by myself. i might change the clutch with a act 2100 or maybe a 2600. ive never done a clutch before and from expericnce ive learned that i screw up everthing the first time. If anyone wants to stop by and help that would be great.(im in woodbury) im sure my mom can make some food and get some drinks if needed. i can also help work on you car at the same time. ive done just about everything except an engine and clutch install and i have just about every tool you could need. big ass semi garage with air tools and even a pit so you can walk under your car.

Pending on when you decide to work on it, I might come up to help out as much as possible. I'll have to see what time brings......

I can probably give you hand. You just have to let me know when you are going to be working on it.

I make a great tool bitch. Post up when your working on it and we will see who can lend a hand. There are plenty of people here that will help out to better their knowledge and just to work on a car.

I don't know about the tool part AJ but the other.. well we'll just leave it at that :)


Hmm.. i will be in Wudberry this weekend for few hours i might stop by if nothing..

-E

the engine is going to rick's next weekend and he said he can have it done in about 5days after i give it to him. the only problem is that i live in duluth and i have to drive back to woodbury. so i can only work on it during the weekend. ill let you guys know for sure when im going to have the engine ready. it should be in 3-4 weeks.

looks like this is going to take longer than i thought. this jackass at the bank kept putting me off for two weeks, until today when i finally got ahold of him. they cant give me a loan because i live in duluth and my mom(the cosigner) lives in woodbury. what kind of bull shit is that. so now i have to find another way to pay for the rebuild.

I've never heard of such a thing, I live 3 hours away from my parents but they cosigned for my truck loan and the bank was well aware that I would be 3 hours away from them.

i think its more that they just didnt want to give the loan to me. so they came up with some dumb reason.

go to cash auto title loans, in hudson wi. lol you can get the motor built and if you dont pay they get a car with no motor.

i thought of doing that a while ago but i dont think they would give me enough. im sure they only loan you like 50% of the value or even less.

Bad idea. The interest those places charge is insane. You pretty much would be just throwing a lot of money away. The financing will happen one way or another, but don't screw youself in the process, it just isn't worth it.

i've been by that place in hudson and i've seen a few people go in with some bad ass cars that i just wanted to get repoed hoping for a chance to buy one. interest is just awful dont rush it, you have the rest of the winter, that is if you have a second car, just get a second job at a gas station or a first job, i dunno lets say being a jigalow, screw chicks and get paid, come on go for it.

i'd like to help out when you get the cash and all, once and a while when i put my brain to things i can be a damn good mechanic, or just some extra muscle to have around

i think im going to out smart the bank and just re apply with both of us having the same address. i was hoping to have the engine in next weekend or the one after. looks like at least a week delay now.

Have you thought about trying a different bank, maybe try a credit union?
