Pat on the back

Big thanks to Hardy (Thawa), Brian (subarujunkie), and Steve (Kostamojen) for helping me put in my engine and tranny on sunday. Hardy and I were litterally benching the tranny to get the crossmember in place just as Brian got there just in time to get a hard to reach bolt in place.
I had planned on just getting the engine and tranny in, but Hardy and Steve decided to see it through. Brian had to take off, but he did help me pull the engine (for which I'm grateful). So we got everything back in and started the car. Hardy and Steve now know how much of a pain the AWIC is to put in place. I think on other cars it would be less bad, but there was a couple really annoying factors to getting mine in place just right.
Unfortunately, none of us had the fore-thought to bring a camera.
Thanks for all the help guys. 11 hours under and around a car is definately going above and beyond what I ever intended or thought you guys would give.
Oh and Hardy, if I could just take all the little goodies under your car other than the struts and springs, I'd be a giddy little camper.
