Fantastic! Makes me long for my old Spitfires. Simple as pie to work on, but the tiny car on Houston highways was just too much of a death wish. It was great to be able to remove the engine by just lifting it up with a 2x4 with some straps. I had a '77 and before that, a '79. This was the '77 that I did "a little" work to....................

+1. i wonder if taking the photos and making the video took more time than the rebuild itself.

what is really strange is i just randomly started whistling that song (In the Hall of the Mountain King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Hall_of_the_Mountain_King) by Edvard Grieg) at work a few hours ago... i even stopped myself and asked a co-worker, "how the hell is that song stuck in my head?"

*cue Twilight Zone music* :paranoid:
