I also have a buddy that lives 1 block from me that has a full service shop in a giant garage that he built.

Hydraulic lift, Full Series of every tool you can dream of and he is ASE certified with everything.

and it only took what 3 months?
 
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (4-24-12) PG 35 for Engine Photos!

Machine shops are extremely slow... I hope to have it running in 2 weeks or less.

Motivated and all parts are finally together.

take those plugs out before you do anything. you're gonna crack one somehow on the way into the engine bay or buttoning things up.

however, sexy things: that balancer pulley, no balance shaft, and the pistons.

Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (4-24-12) PG 35 for Engine Photos!

Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (4-24-12) PG 35 for Engine Photos!

when is this Texas meet?

and i generally plan meets pretty well. I tie them in with car shows so we can roll deep as a group. plus it gives a good activity then we get food afterwards.
 
Re: Spartan GL's Build Thread: (4-24-12) PG 35 for Engine Photos!

Alright got the car pushed a few blocks over to the new shop. started digging into the boxes of parts and matching things up.

Still looking for my engine temp sensor and a few bolts here and there but for the mostpart everything is going well. Just gotta find some time to throw everything in that fits both his and my schedule but hopefully take a week or two
