SUMMER IS HERE!

Finally, now to move out and back home and attempt to get ready for the June 4 track event.

Relaxing, beautiful weather, laying on the floor looking back, and taking off my exhaust to fix a leak


welded on a new flange, not too bad for flux core!


grip taped pedals


gas is cool, I haven't driven this thing in so long


And this hood mod keeps getting more convenient, letting me work under my garage ceiling light

It rubs the lotion on its skin

thanks for hooking it up again Justin! It was pretty funny to see the name on the box (forum username)


new bottom radiator mounts, weird seeing these so nice! haha


strut bar, the bar BARELY fits in between the inner bolts of the strut towers


brackets cut off and the oval holes are filled in




work station (floor, haha)






more oval hole filling comparo


I wore a pretty serious face mask when I sanded off the paint. chinese lead paint destroys families


all ovals filled in




new hardware that fits


tacked in, you can see the sockets on top of the bolts to protect the threads from splatter


compared to the pics of it new, you can see how much I've pushed the brackets in and bent them accordingly. the nuts on the innermost bolt is super barely able to come off, so it worked out




I think Matt9000 talked me into ZEBRA print brackets, maybe probably.


When he came over, he brought four loko and budweiser. And my drunken ass decided to do the hood mod since they were there and I ended up cutting one of the hood brackets a bit too far but it worked out! Hahha, probably shouldn't operate angle grinders when under the influence.

Joshua style






Ants and eggs (I was so hammered by this time)
