I'll probably be constantly stealing it from my better half after it's back on the road!
Until Sunday....
Cheers all!

Your a DIYer so you are already saving a ton of money on bringing this beauty back. Plus even after you have paid for all these parts you won't be able to find another vehicle on the road for the same money that has the luxury, ride and craftsmanship that this X has. Take your time, do it how you want it to be done, and forget the nay sayers that try to discourage you from bringing this vehicle back. I have a 4.6is that I am bringing back. I love it. Just this past week we got the work complete on the timing guides, timing chains, lower oil pan & gasket, lower timing cover gaskets, upper timing cover gaskets, vanos rebuilding, cooling system service, all new hoses, new pulleys, outer left and right axle boots, etc. Cleaned her up yesterday and started to drive her. No more leaks and just a beautiful sounding V8 with eisenmann exhaust. All work done by my brother and I.
