For fucks sakes! Ok, enough with the pity party now...... Yes he apologized, it wasn't THAT bad haha I was just starting Shit...
Anyway.,
For the O.P. nevermind the whiners, refer to the advice you've been given(except tear it down...) do some searching how to do the stuff and rip that bitch , if it runs good just check it all out, jet correctly , and have fun! When it blows you will have experience and then do your 4 mil.
Just my opinion
