....ok not really. So finally today all of my parts arived after my heap has been sitting infront of my parents hous for like a week. I had some overtemp issues last week, so I figured it was time to bite the bullit and just go for it. Well, after trapsing all over town this morning for miscelaneous parts (it seems that most of the stealerships around here are on strike) I finallt tore into the jeep. I got stuff apart really easy, but then crap invetably started to happen. First, some of the mounting studs on my new GDI sheared off. It was ok though, I sent for a new one, and figured I would finish tommorow. THen, while replacing the heater hoses to make use of my time, my friggin heater valve pretty much falls apart in my hands. Luckily my girlfriend was on her way to the parts store for some other junk and she grabbed me a new one. Luckily my parents are good about me having to spread my crap around the garage. Oh yeah, and to top off this series of follies, my dad tells me this morning to lock the garage door in the upright position with a set of vise grips so it won't fall on me. Yeah, about all they did was let me know with a pinging sound that my dumb ass was about to get nailed. The damn door drilled me in the small of the back shoving me over into my engine. But I ain't bitter. Oh well, I'll guess I'll just be back at it tomorrow.
