I can't wait to see the progression with this one!!
Correct, the VHS was a DIO and 2002 up it was an optional feature.

Thanks to Magnolia Tom, I now have a fully optioned Excursion!

Other than the obvious repair work, do you have any plans on mods? Are you going with the stock '00 grille, or the 05 style?

Oh, and it's the same color as mine!

Anybody know the best way to send a 250 mb file?
There are several options you could use. I doubt even with an empty inbox you would be able to send a 250meg file.

You can use drive.google.com upload the file. Once you have uploaded the file you will see an option to share the link. The icon looks like an oval with a dash in the middle.

You can also use omerta.is , dropbox, uploaded.net they all are able to have a file uploaded to the site and the link shared.

I would also love to get my hands on a manual....just throwing that out there

Right off the bat it will be just a get it back together and driveable to see what all needs attention and whatnot. Then I will figure out where I want to go from there.

I now have a computer/cd manual! Looks to have everything I should need buried somewhere in the 6300 pages. Looks like it will be a pain to navigate to find the info I need but it looks to all be there somewhere.

I hate fasteners that are torqued/stretched to degrees! Stupid.

There is a V10 in a million pieces in my shop!

Man there is allot of pieces to one of these things!

It was a little deceiving about the machine shop having everything "laid out". More like there are some parts in this box, some in that box, and this container holds all the nuts, bolts, rockers, and stuff.

I also though the heads were assembled which they are not and of course nothing is laid out and labeled where it should go. All the valves, springs, retainers, and whatnot are just thrown in a box.

This will be interesting.

Even with the 5 boxes of parts and two tubs of nuts and bolts and stuff it will still be easier than a Jaguar!

I honestly have no idea, I was lucky enough to get a download off a private deal. I guess if you asked nicely in the "What did you do to the X today" thread you might get a pm from someone.
