Nothing much to post yet, but after getting good initial (and ongoing interest) from potential buyers for my Roadster and positive initial results in reviving my donor car, I figured I would get this thread started.

Here was my initial post in the Donor discussions thread.

Here is what it looks like now - it's alive (sort of). Won't hold idle (bent valves probably the culprit?) but will hold about 3k rpm no problem and no weird noises. I couldn't slip the driver side timing cover on because the frame is bent over too much. I will be bending the frame back so I can put the cover back on before pulling the motor (just to give myself a tiny bit of comfort that a minor bump in the motor pulling process won't result in major carnage to the pulleys).
