Well the house deal and moving out is done.  I bought me a house.  Move into it next month.  I went outside tonight and cleaned up shop and sanded down the car some more.  I was thinkin should I replace the Rack and pinion.  I was think I might as well since i can get to it right now.  I also took a picture of some MRZ parts I got.

They look too good. How much did they cost? Are you about to close on the house? Yea, I'd change everything while you have the chance, that way you can jump in and drive off.

I really forgot on the price. I bought them awhile ago and they have been sitting in there boxes forever.  I close like in a month.  That's when I get the keys and everything.  

I do have an oil leak on my daily car so I got to put money into that right now.

I drive a 1995 Beretta 3100.  The damn lower intakes are leaking AGAIN. But its on the right side under my power steering.  I got the parts on thursday but i swear I got the wrong set.  I need the one that somewhat cover the push rods.  I know the ones that are on there are plastic.  The ones i got are metal.  I hope they are a change in material.  the leak is not to bad but it bugs me.  I also have some noise under the hood.  I plan I fixing it up the car before i move into the house so i dont need to mess with it for a awhile. ÂÂÂ

On the project car I am sanding the engine bay down and tryin to get ready to paint the engine bay. ÂÂÂ I need parts sand blasted off and then I should be able to start puting it together. ÂÂÂ Still need that lower mount part from the junk yard just need the time and no rain. ÂÂÂ I could do the little things like get the springs on the struts and little stuff. ÂÂÂ I just want to get this thing back together.  I think my dad is wanting the space.  I have time now because I am done with school this sem.  But I also got to test for my CDL for work.

A true Beretta driver. Rain may come at the end of the week(over here for sure). What color are you going to paint the bay? Will you keep the engine stock, or are you going to build for N/A ?

I plan on painting the engine bay black.  The rest of the car will be black sometime.  I will keep the engine stock for now.  I will pull the engine back out after I get the car running and everything.  Then do a rebuild.

It's cheaper to get a GM reman engine than to rebulid. You want to test everything to make sure it works, I know. Hey, did you ever get the LSD?

You want the metal intake manifold gaskets, trust me.  The new GM/Fel-Pro revised set is made out of rubber and metal and is supposed to be the ultimate 3x00 lower intake gasket.

I know on the performance, I was just thinking of the lower end and selling the top end stuff that you don't use to those who could need it(just a thought, I know you have enough to sell). Can you get a LSD somewhere else?

You never thought of selling the 3.4 and getting a new one? Your 3.4 has 40K on it right? I guess that's not too bad. It's not you it's just me, I like to start fresh on a build if I can. Did you get the oil leak fixed?

The oil leak I think is fixed.   I ran into so many problems.  I found things broke and well my sleeping pattern is all messed up so the parts store was closed.  So I had to rob parts off of the project car.  God i hated doin that.  I am kinda tight on money right now so a new engine would be over my budget.  I have been really been working almost 8 hours a day on it.  I eat sleep and work on the car.   I was really thinkin about selling it thats how Pis or mad I was.  But shes running now.  Still has a damn noise from the compressor.  I have to work all this weekend but I might be able to suck down the AC and give it some free.  My sis is having some marry problems so i got to help her and her 2 year old niece before anything.
