Part 6/8:
The primary challenge reared its head — the absence of functional engines. Undeterred, the protagonist shifted focus to a used engine from a 2006 Legacy, snagged for a decent price. The process of stripping down and inspecting the engine revealed potential issues with valve damage, but the protagonist remained hopeful for a successful build.
As parts were organized and various components evaluated, the real work began, including drilling and adjusting fixes to ensure the engine would fit snugly into the car. Small challenges unfolded, including sourcing a battery and addressing non-conforming parts, but resilience played a key role in overcoming these hurdles.
