God that's a badass video. And a badass car. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong for a while. 
You had to replace a valve and a cylinder, right? And obviously the Autolite plugs.
I was hoping for some sideways antics in the damp parking lot from your car.
That stack of beer cans is awesome, and the can in the turbo inlet is even more awesome.
Can't wait for the next video...GT3071?

Thumbs up Tom. That video is whip-***.
Help me out though. Your spark plug melted, but how did that cause a bent valve? Looks like you had a good time repairing it. I flushed my coolant this weekend and felt good about it; I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment after repairing an F'd up valve. You had that car tore apart. Nice work.

You're my hero Tom! Haha. Landscaping makes huge bank doesn't it? That's how I paid for my car. I ran a landscaping business for 6 years and sold the whole business before I left for college this fall. Glad your car is running again, you're truly an inspiration to the rest of us.

HAHAH, yea the plug tip broke off and got stomped on by 1 exhaust valve which is shown in the pick after the spark plugs. I had to replace that valve and I might hafta replace the turbo because the one blade is chipped, but yea 3071r coming soon.
I tried to do some donuts but my suspension has sooo much understeer, i never realized until trying to do donuts and it was just too embarassing to put in that vid. Once I get a rear sway all will be good and donuts will be awesome. Next vid will be prollly sat or sunday of h20
