My X is back up and running

Got the starter, Tbars, and all the little misc crap back in tonight. Seems to be running well. Took it for a spin around the block and ran it through all the gears and it shifts well and drives like normal.

So for the moment, I'm going to call it a success. I'll monitor the fluids for the next few weeks and make sure nothing looks funky.

Woo!

So total cost:
Water Pump, timing belt, misc other belts/supplies: $200
Starter: $170
Transmission: $1200
New computer I built for my buddy who did all the work: $500
Having my baby back: Priceless

Congrats - Glad to hear you are back up and running.

Good job. Glad to here you're running again.

Awesome! Good job doing it on your own. That $500 for the computer is still money saved over labor at the stealership.

did you get the flow figured out and is everything squared away? That is awesome, it is the best feeling when a project is done and you can drive your rig again.

Nice!

So...now you're the club expert on tranny stuff. Everybody call Mark for your transmission needs!

NICE! Glad to see ya runn'n again!

I did get the flow figured out. We did as suggested, disconnected the tubes, turned on the car and waited for the fluid to come shooting out

So you gonna' sit around gloating or are we gonna' go wheeling? :p

EXCELLENT!

Well, this darn anniversary thing is getting in the way of wheeling this weekend. But, I am anxious to get out for sure. I figure maybe I'll give it a week or two of in town driving just to make sure nothing falls off

Falls off, get it out, anniversary, driving. Weird conversational combinations...
