[V8] Introduction!

[Cary Christopherson]

Thanks for the welcome!

I don't really know a whole lot about the engine work that was done. I need
to give the PO a call and ask a few questions and go through the receipts.
I'll give the cleaner a shot. Sounds like an easy way to get myself some A/C
for a little while if anything.

One of these weekends I will get it up on stands and check all the mounts. I
hope it's something easy like torquing down a mount but no big deal if
something needs replacement as long as I can find a part.

I will take pictures as soon as I get the new wheels on it... The car also
needs a good compound and polish as the gloss is good but there's a lot of
swirl marks that need taking care of. I need to order some pads and
materials and find some time to do this.
