Talking My Fd Is Home!

Well i bought the car on december 2nd. It sat until february 4 when i finally stop waiting for a friend to get on his feet. Then i rented a storage shed. Got the full motor swap done in 1 week 3 days at the shed about 3-6 hours a day. Me and my little brother did most of the work. Then we went to start the car. Nothing. So we assumed it was the fuel pump. So i sent it up to KD which was the innicial(sp?)plan. So they dont get to my car until tuesday. Skip calls me and come to find out......the ORIGINAL fuel filter was in the car. 112k. WOW and another thing...my rear diff was fucked. So i went to the storage shed. worked from 5-9 pulling the good rear diff out of my car. Drove that up to KD and thought i would drive back then drive up again tommorow to pick the car up. Well i get up there....SKip tells me to hang around, they can get it done. So thats cool. I will post pics when the car arrives.

Tell him to stop by my place on the way home if he's taking I-83 south. I'd love to see it.

yup, its up and running. Hats off to KD for getting it done so fast. They started it on tuesday of this week. And had it done yesterday (wednesday). They did my Greddy SMIC,fuel pump,fuel filter, topped off fluids, guages,and installed my rear diff in a matter of 2 days. My brother just took it to get inspected before the snow hits. Even tho its already snowing, just had to get it over there before it starts to stick. Ill post pics when we get the car back.
