Motor was a no-go, had to redo the rear brakes on the Roadster.

Hopefully in a week or so, though!

Yep - Motor dropped in, trans mount bolted up, and all the spare parts / new parts packed inside the car. Ready to roll out.

Good to hear Greg! Just got to wait till the end of this month or middle of next and if u still got it i will pick it up for sure. Being real busy with the house painting, buying furniture, appliances and what not in order to get that out the way as quickly as possible to pick this up.

Circumstances have changed.

She now not only has a name ("Bella"), but she'll be remaining in the family for the time being.

I'm going to plan a week-long "Tech Week" sometime later in the year to get her roadworthy, so stay tuned... She's gonna be brought back to life.

Keep 'em running, guys!

Circumstances have changed again.

Not only is she now remaining in the family, but this coming weekend, she's going under the knife for a heart transplant.

My lovely fiancee will be keeping you guys posted on the progress, but suffice it to say, it will be one of about 10 of its kind in existence when it's finished...

Hmmmm... What could it be?

I suppose "one of 10" is an exaggeration...

Let's just say "not terribly common", but faster than a scaldedass cat.

Nice an RB~! That should be fun. How complete is the engine? Are you going to have to redo most of your 240 wiring?
