i think i'm the happiset person right now.....

first off....I love this jetta....



just got the new (to me) motor fired up and running for a bit, before I shut it down, very happy.   :P  Got a couple things to button up tomorrow as I ran out of light.  I pulled off the super ninja motor swap without anyone getting wise in the lot where we park our cars.  this previously happened...and I've been without a car since.  http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=26084.0  But I got a motor from a friend and it fired up right away with two injector lines loose after sitting more than a year.   ;D  I even met a member out of the blue when someone came to look at some parts that I had left over.  good to meet ya steve (rustycaddy).  She purrs like a lion due to one missing exhaust gasket, but I'll get that tomorrow.  just sooooooo happy to hear that thing purr after a few months off the road...Been busy with this other project.  trail 70 with a 125 I just bought for it... :P




I can't wait till I'm tall enough to work comfortably...

Glad to hear it's running.
 Having little hands is probably a great help in tight spots.

Yea, but he needs to use cheater bars all the time to break the nuts and bolts free.  VW likes em darn tight don't they?
