w00t my TA!

Ordered half the parts i need yesterday, placed two orders today, and have one order to place tomorrow, and by Friday I should have more than half the parts I need to assemble my new motor and possibly get it in the car on the weekend, depending on delays when my parts come in, hopefully no delays :) i'll keep posting in this thread my status, maybe some pics too
