And i thought today was going to be a bad day...

And i thought today was going to be a bad day...

Today i got off to bad start.  Woke up late, my work pants got left in the wash, kids were late for school, wife stole my garage door opener cause hers was broke, new cell phone wouldnt work...  I figured i needed to go back home and start over.  I have a little VAC time left for the year so i just called in.

So i watched NFL network for a while then decided to wrench on my car a little.  I changed the thermostat, wiper blades, adjusted the driverside door.  Then my day got good,  I still havnt checked to see if my car has the matching engine since i bought it.  After i got it on the jack stands i was excited to discover the original matching engine and transmission.  For some reason the zeros are a little hard to read but its all there.  It wont be too long before i get my new vin tag back... then i will have everything... i think

 :woohoo:

SWEEETT!!  I remember how happy I was when I learned that my engine was original, despite what the previous owner told me.

Good thing - sounds like your day was starting to pile up!   :bricks1:  Now you and that original engine should go  :burnout: !!
