Yeah.
The rental. I paid the deductible out of pocket and state farm sent an adjuster to look at it. It was done paid. Now I get a bill for whole thing.
Started getting the roadster suspension ready for reinstallation today.
Took the rear end down to bare metal and primed it.
Then we painted it.
We also de-rusted, primed, and painted the leaf spring mounts.

Reckon we'll get it hoisted up under the car tomorrow so that we can get wheel dollies under it and move it around for the garage door installation on Wednesday.
Had some new brake hoses for the Roadster made up.
replaced O-rings in the recirc valve, and it seems to be not fuckin' leaking anymore.

You should get a big boy tank.
I love my big boy tank. It fills me with happiness
Replaced the (ripped) intake boot on the Audi with this silicone thing from 034.
Then I replaced the MAP sensor in the ECU, and went a range hotter on spark plugs.
Finally, it isn't pitching any codes, and hopefully I'll be able to pass emissions and register this turd for another couple years.

Got a big(ger) boy tank. Not quite as beefy as yours, but it was the largest that I'm allowed to transport in the car according to the supplier's regs.

So this weekend didn't happen how I wanted it to, but it was a lot better than it could have been.
Drove across the bay to my buddy's in Dunedin, used his shop, bunch of buddys headed out to help.
Pull old engine.
Quick mask off of the existing head and some spray bomb.
Then it was time to go home and come back Sunday
We got the motor in, barely. Two bellhousing bolts are in, but ran out of time for the rest. My new motor mount I designed was fucked up somehow, I'll rework it. The transmission mount had lost its two bolts, no fucking clue how or when, but it was some time in the past 5 years; both holes were stripped. I dunno what the fuck that was about, but without that issue we probably would have had the truck started. As it is it'll be hanging out at my friend's for a week or two till I can get back over there.
