Haha the Cougar Carrier is looking good, happy to see it on the road.

Will you be in Monterey later this month? It'd be cool to meet up, I'll be there Friday-Sunday

For Harry Potter's birthday, what color did Hermione turn the leaves of the Weasley’s crabapple tree?

Are you kidding me? Even the most Plebian HP fan can answer that. Hellen Keller, who can neither see nor hear, knows that Hermione turned Ron's crabapple tree leaves to gold.


I feel so insulted.

Hahaha! This was a mere test. Prepare for more random HP trivia.

I have my rememberall ready, brah.

Buttoned up the front suspension.

Decided to add front and rear swaybars to the car. 1600s never came with them, but I want to drive this car. I figure swaybars would be a welcome addition to the driving experience. These are stock 2002 swaybars, nothing thick and overly aggressive.






Do I get to drive this car tomorrow? Hmmmmm

[alas]

Video! Video! Drive her drive her drive her!

Love the black and zinc coating. Looks so good under there.

[csermonet47]

Man that looks so nice under there. Probably better than new. I hope to redo a car to this extent at some point.

[LateFan]

So tidy.

[bruner]

Absolutely gorgeous. Now go slam some gears!

[phreshkid]

So I was having trouble bleeding the brakes, and concluded that the master cylinder may have finally died. I had my guy order another, but he ordered a 2002 MC, which is different from a 1600 MC. 2002s have dual line calipers, 1600s have single line calipers. So I had to return the 2002 MC, and order an e21 MC (also single line, but bigger surface area).

I hope to get that in and on today.


Just another delay.

We are cutting it wayyyy close to Monterey.

[phreshkid]

Drives well. Tinkering here and there and fine tuning, but ultimately satisfied.
