Let's recap. I purchased the car bone stock, and was delivered from FL May 1st, 2004. It's my first car, and my babygirl.

Fast-forward to last winter, when I added my Cams, MK4 HG, GIAC, H/D Valvesprings, and everything wearable in between. Since then, I had been loosing a quart every 400 miles or so.

This winter, I was determined to find out the cause of my sudden consumption. Rip the head off, and find bent valves, screwed guides, and a busted valvlespring. The block was the main concern this winter, and it wasn't even the main problem. I had planned for a 3.0 VR and even though it may not need it, a 3.0 is what we will have..plus some other goodies.

Finshed recovering the suede headliner with the mega industrial strength carpet adhesive. This stuff was so tacky..hope it holds up to the sun this summer.

The brake components are on and fit great.

The engine is pulled and off to C-Tech, where it will all be inspected & machined.
