Very lucky indeed sir! A buddy of mine lost 5 teeth and had to get his nose rebuilt after a similar incident with a Lexus rear strut.

Yesterday I put the gas tank back into Barbie Car, then tried to crank her up... darn, forgot that the ignition module is missing. Put the one from Chuck on and it would run off of spray, but still wouldn't run on its own. So I thought maybe injectors were stuck. Fuel pump and pressure already verified to be good. Pulled the injectors and tested one by one with a 9 volt. No clicks on any of them. Pulled a set of B3 injectors and tried them, they all clicked. So I stuck them on the B6 just to see. Fired right up! Sounds super sexy too, even without the exhaust fully hooked up. Got the injectors soaking in the kerosene right now, but just in case, Danny ordered up a spare set from Ebay, plus a couple ignition modules too. All thats left under the hood besides those little items is finishing up the resonator box (had to be modded to clear upper rad hose) hooking up exhaust, and refilling the trans. Will probably get to drive it tomorrow on the B3 injectors, just to see how it does Only thing stopping me from driving it yesterday is one of the back brakes and/or bearings is dragging pretty bad. But there is a new set of brakes and bearings for it sitting in the passenger seat, so no real worries there Paul, it looks like we will be on for a mini meet/festiva relay party to/from Danny's house in the near future

[neanderpaul]

DUDE! It sounds like you dodged a bullet on that one. That could have been really bad. Did April find out?

Got my GLX buttoned up enough that i could drive it today. Put about 15 miles on it. Runs good, drives good and i'm happy! Its been a long and frustrating process. So today, i was in a tizzy to try and get the thing going and it bit me in the.....face. I was switching out my aspire shocks from "Towmater" to the GLX. I was not thinking at all and jacked up the rear axle of the GLX, removed the right rear wheel, started to remove the lower shock bolt not thinking that i should have put jack stands under the body. When the bolt came out the axle came up, my head was in the wheel well, WAM the drum smokes my nose and smashed my head into the wheel well. Instant blood, i thought i had broke my nose. I have a couple big tinting mirrors in my garage so i went over to them and looked in the mirror and was like "This is bad". I wiped off the blood to inspect the damage and it looked only visual. After a 5 min bloody nose and a couple cuss words at how smart i am i got back to work and finished the swap. It looks ok now. Word from the not so wise, slow down.

You know you can easily fix that e-brake for under $10, with a couple lengths of aircraft cable and a few crimps........

Yeah I've been meaning to try to rig something up, but meh. Now that it's actually cold and I'd like to leave my car running places, I might get off my rump and do it LOL

I did it myself, for less than $30. It wasn't unnecessary, as now it runs better and burns less oil than before. It also isn't leaking externally anymore.

Read above. It definitely needed it regardless of a compression test result.

I think the jist of what they're implying is that if it needs a valve job/valves/re-ring etc the head comes right back off again.
