Vixens build thread!!!

Cedric, it's all good. I don't think they know we're brothers and that you was just watching my back. Now they know.
Noah, my cousin is pretty funny, but usually I'm laughing at him and not with him. He's as redneck as they come. Anyone with the Smokey and Bandit theme as a ringtone, and has fighting roosters has got to be a redneck. I still love him though.
TODAY! (I learned that from Ian)
No updates what so ever. I had a basketball game today and we won. We're on a two game winning streak after losing our first game by two points. Vonda's block is still at the machine shop along with the rods and pistons. Hopefully sometime next week he can have it fixed so I can get it put back together.
Parts ordered so far for her car.
Upgraded oil pump
2mm headgasket
ARP head studs
new gaskets
new rod bearings and main bearings
new rings
I think that's it. Anything you guys see that I've missed?

Update:
We had the crank turned today, and we have ordered new rod bearings .020, and new main bearings .030. The block is being honed and he is ordering new rings. We also ordered a new gasket set, a new 2mm head gasket, a new upgraded oil pump, new hoses, new oil pump bearings, new timing belt with other belts. The head is going to be rebuilt and new valve seals installed.

You guys do know I live in Alabama right? Neither of the two machine shops I'm using does that. I'm leaving hers and mine stock. Sorry.

Why would I want a weak ass'd 2jz?............:biglaugh:
John, our girls love the supras. That's all they want to ride in when we go somewhere, but I hardly ever drive them in mine. I don't want to back down from a race, and I won't race with them in the car............:nono:
Don't do anything to that engine, it's a 2J, right?
Oh, and I like big butt's and I can not lie!

Vixen is staying true to the 7m.........for right now, but this is it's last chance. It's costing way more than I had imagined when I decided to rebuild it. I should have put this money towards a 1jz, but I want to give the 7m a fighting chance. I hope I didn't mess up by doing that. It's already bit me twice, hell, what's one more time?
Duane, you've got a lovely voice...........:biglaugh:

I love all your sounds.
No videos as of yet. I wanted to take a picture of the crank but I didnt' have the camera and I really needed to get it to the machine shop so he could get the bearings ordered. I'm hoping he has it all built by next friday. I'll take the camera with me and if I go by his shop again, I'll get some pictures.

There won't be a video of me or the car until I'm driving the car. :icon_bigg

There are no new pictures, because nothing is here. I will post pictures as UPS and FEDX drop off parts, and when the motor comes back home.
