Before the swap 120,000 mile engine.. This OHV treated me real good over the years




Intake and battery gone




Pacesetter downpipe unhoooked

looking awesome dude. keep up the good work!

You coulda have stayed in there and let car to use your heart to bring it back alive? lol

The 2.4 is looking really good, cant wait to see it in there and have it back running alive.

David - LoL you posted at the same time I posted give or take a min. I'm glad you got that out. Just let me know when we are doing this LD9 drop in party! I will try to be there the day you tell me to be. Make sure you clean all the way down on the passenger side of the fire wall. I still see some dirt! Looks like my little idea worked good on cleanin' the bay huh. Call me later when you know when you are going to drop in the LD9.
