3-25-11 Just got started, bought the donor vehicle one month ago,
bought the motor two weeks ago. Plan to get started removing the
donor ICE in 2 months.
4-20-11 Had the engine compartment and interior cleaned in
preparation for pulling the engine. I hope to be able to sell it on
Craig's List. I have done some minor maintenance repairs, plan to
continue getting things fixed up little by little.
