for first mileage. Michelle picked up her car last night and my lift is finally free for some ARF attention. She is going ot put a few miles on it and then we bring it in to Matt for a alignment and mixture tweaking. Along with the engine are new struts, shocks, bushings, ball joints, turbo tie rods, clutch, 2 axles, brakes, pesky brake lines, gears for the seats and one switch. The engine went in twice, once due to broken intake manifolds. Thanks go to the crew who helped remove it the first time, Jazz for his AV jack (it was so handy I bought one of my own), to Matt DeMaria who did a lot of the engineering work and listened to my woes and anybody else to whom I counseled.

I didn't choose. She made some of the very important decisions, like 964 cams and vc color.

Sweet. Glad to hear it. Now if I remember this was just going to be a quick clutch job.
Nice job, John.
