ya know who your real friends are when you call them at 9 oclock at night asking for help with a motor swap, and all they ask if do u have beer or should I pick some up? lol
Anyone notice anything different besides a KL sitting in the car?

Hey, that engine bay looks great. 
Nice work. It's always nice having those friends that are there for you too.
