Not trying to sound rude mang, but still waiting on a quote so's I can send cash yer way. I know weekends are your busy days, so I can wait, for a while.
Mainly because I'm still looking for a good machinist to bore it out to like 60-61mm.
But yeah, the sooner would preferably be better.
Thanks.

Alright, time for an update.
First, a little housekeeping. In my very first post I stated when I could pull and ship parts. Since then I explained that the weekend, while free for most of you, is when I work. I put in 25 hours on saturday and sunday this weekend. I'm enrolled for 16 credit hours at college, I'm there from 9am to 10pm on tuesdays and thursdays. This part out is not at the very top of my priorities. It's very important to me to be thorough and quick for everyone involved, but it will cost me more money than I'll make on this part out if I fail a class because I was too busy pulling parts to sleep or study. I will do my best, but I won't bend over backwards.
Secondly. I have a <u>comprehensive</u> list of every member who's contacted me and the parts they want. So no, I haven't forgotten about you, you haven't slipped through the cracks because there's no cracks to slip through here. If I haven't gotten to you yet it's because I'm swamped. I've got a list that's over 50 items long that need to come out of that car. Most of them are checked off, some aren't. Right now I'm trying to spend my time the best, in a way that benefits the most people. If I spend all day long pulling the wiring harness instead of taking out 20 other small parts, I've made one person happy and made another 6 or 7 people wait. Large and difficult items are at the back of the list right now.
Now, on to the parts.
Currently, I'm still waiting to pull out a few things. Namely, the dashboard and thermostat controls, the front hubs and dust guards, the cylinder head (letting the jb-weld soak in), bumper reinforcements and brackets, control arm... Only large or difficult items are left on the list. I got a shit-ton done today though.
Pictures of parts are up on my photobucket, shipping quotes will be PM'ed to everyone right now. If you've paid for a part, it's been mailed to you and you've got a PM regarding shipping in your inbox.
Did I miss anything?

Funny enough the NGK wires are sitting on my kitchen table right now, I'll pm you a quote right now.

The pictures in the album are of a stock intake manifold, I also have an OBX 4-2-1 header. Azngoose has dibs on the header right now.
<u>Update</u>
Alright, wednesday was sadly unproductive, my little sister's camry has decided to start leaking from the PS pump, so I had to do some work on it, which took away from my part-out time.
The head is almost off, the very last bolt is stripped. (figures), I'll be coming up with an inventive enough way to get it off soon.
The rest of the parts are still on hold till I can get them off, but it's mostly done. Everyone who's paid for parts has had them shipped out already. I'll be posting a list of what's still available and what's sold on monday.
