Oh and we live in Riverview... south of Brandon.

Good idea Tak on the digi cam... we were planning on using address labels and wrapping them around each hose/connection and numbering them or whatever just so we wouldnt mess it up. You cant really mess up if you match up "hose 1" with "nipple/connection 1" ya know what I mean.

His mom is letting us use a wide open 2 car garage to do the work in, and Ive got plenty of tools (Im a handyman on the side) so I hope we're taken care of there. Its the "never done it before" feeling thats holding us back a bit.

Thx Eluder for the adobes on the S13 KA24DE FSM. The mileage is just a lil over 100k, and if we knew how to rebuild it then Im sure we would. I think starting with changing the head gasket will be step one for us lol before we start going into engine rebuilds. Either way I just dont wana see him sell it as a non running car and lose 2k-3k on this car just because it blew a head gasket.

Thx all for the help. Ill be checking back lata tonight for more info if you got it.
