About 8 months ago I had a spun rod bearing so it was time to start a full rebuild. Things that are going to happen while down are change internals to 9.0:1 compression pistons, forged rods, angled valve job, engine bay painted, wire tuck, fusebox relocate, replace interior, racing seats, lighter hood/fenders/doors, remove air bags, new steering wheel, solid motor mounts, upgrade fuel pump, big brake kit, rebuild trany, and alot more i may decide to do along the way.
