Lol..I know how you feel....2 years back my gasket went and I used to work on it every day after work till 2 or 3 in the morning to get it done all alone.
When it rained it sucked so much.So cold and everyones inside all warm and relaxing while im under the car freezin my ass off in the wet. Had to lift the head on my own from the car....climb up onto the car with the head and then jump down with it.....I was so happy when I had it all done....Rebuilt the engine at the same time too.
Took me a week n a half to do it all after work n get it running.

Hang in there...

Cheers,
Roy

yeah I would have had it sooner but So many little problems keep coming up man i had given up hope. Hell i need a fan Shroud bad or maybe electric fans the temp starts to creep up when its sitting still. But goes right back down when moving.

I got a fanshroud for 108 locally. I'm sure Curt or Jeff can get you one cheaper.

Congrats on being back in the Supra! I can't wait til I'm back in mine! As soon as I go to court for this last ticket I will be back in as long as the judge doesn't take my license! (my Christmas Wish)
