Default most injuries encountered during swap ever

1) split completely open pinky. this is one of those mystery injuries where you have no idea how it even happens. all of the sudden ur like dude wehre did all this transmission oil come from and oh shit wait that's coming from my finger. hm...

2) persuader to my knuckle instead of the motor mount. this resulted in a very swollen knuckle. fucking not cool at all, but tylenol 3 repaired it.

3) the stupid busted knuckle that you get when you break loose somethign and instead of it just starting to move it freaking swivels completely loose and your knuckle slams into the frame. so many much fun.

4) PB blaster in the fucking eye. always a special treat.

5) screwdriver trying to remove a radiator hose slips off and filets your middle finger skin right off. this is one of those things where youre just starting to get tired and you keep working anyways and oh shit gfd that hurt a bunch. but the skin flies right off and it doesnt really bleed too bad until a couple of minutes later. Then it starts to hurt like hell. yep. this was one of those cool check this out injuries.

the finished product.

ka24e ripped out, ka24de clutch replaced and placed in 1990 240sx. i will start on wiring in a few days.. maybe tomorrow but i will be resting and letting at least scabs heal.

cliff notes
1) air ratchets ( i need one) kick a lot of ass
2) air ratchets (someone buy me one) kick a lot of ass
3) 240sx's that have been sitting for a year have every possible bolt rusted shut
4) the persuader is the god of all tools
5) i hate the ka24de
6) it pisses me off that this swap only gains 10hp
7) i am loving every minute of this. most fun i ever had seriously

tomorrow's battle: simple greening the engine bay and engien and all that good shit and cleaning the fucking driveway
