this 2019 **** never happened!
blew the motor, was on verge of a divorce and a few months later ended up buying a house.

there is really no aim at this other than showing my progress with the car.

the story that follows is cringy....after i put the eha dback on, i accidentally left the caps for the cams "loose", the car ran good although a bit weird....took it for a drive and ended up snapping the intake cam in half.
hence why i had no comp.
i thought i had for sure fucked up a ring land or something, no...the intake side, on piston 3-4 was not even rotating!

the curse wasn't over...then the paint started doing weird ****.
which means, we have to sand it all again.....we are learning...the paint reacted with the primer.

decided to focus my attention to the dashboard, which was cracked.
fixed it and wrapped it...came out so-so but better than it being cracked,.
