Its been raining here in VA for the past 6 days and yesterday and today was BEAUTIFUL so i had to get my ass to pull the motor out.
started today at 5 pm i got to work on pulling the motor
and instead of using a lift we pulled it out the oldschool way by just pulling it from the bottom....,lol
i finished pulling the motor at 8PM
then i spent alot of time getting things organized

[ffxbb6]
