Work has begun. I pulled the intake, fan and shroud, throttle linkage and bracket to get a little head start for Sunday. Plan on getting a little further ahead tomorrow after I get home from work. The plan is to get the VE in first and then take care of the Airdog, sump and fuel lines.
Of course, here's the wrench that may or may not interfere with my plans. I ordered a billet tappet cover last weekend, it was sent out Monday morning via UPS and the scheduled delivery date was today (Friday, the 4th). I just so happened to check the tracking on it earlier this morning and, to my surprise, it had for some reason been rescheduled to Monday, the 6th. I certainly wasn't pleased with this change! I called customer service to inform them of my displeasure and that I NEED this package. I also mentioned that I had ordered this particular product in plenty of time for it to arrive BEFORE Sunday. I put the ball in their court asking "What can brown do for me now? I need this package by no later than tomorrow!" The last update was a departure scan on Wednesday at 3:23am. The woman said that there's a chance it will arrive in Cerritos (which, luckily, is just up the street from me) tomorrow morning. Their pick-up facility is open from 10am-1pm.
So now, I'm banking on this thing to show up anytime before 1pm tomorrow afternoon. Luckily, I have Monday and Tuesday off this coming week. But I'd still rather have everything done in one day so that I can have another day or 2 to troubleshoot any problems, if any arise.
UPS bastards! :homo:
