What front lip is that? And what kind of fuel mileage you get with this thing?

[FunfGan]

Some lame updates.


Sorted some bolts









Made a trashcan









And got my garage organized








Made a list for 200 Drifters Of December at Summit Point








Then mocked up a box to cover all my electronics, starter solenoid, etc.










Decided to start tucking the main front wiring harness, and cut out all the stock headlight wiring and such that hasn't been used in who knows how long.


Ended up with this







Cut out all this








And we have







Currently raplacing my steering guibo with a solid aluminum AKG one, as well as a bunch more boring stuff. I'll be back with drift pics in a week or so.

Let me know if you needs tools/help... work is pretty slow lately, plenty of time to play hookey.

Also, saw Spencer the other day... he said you weren't bringing the car to summit for 200 dod. I am disappoint.

y u do dis

[FunfGan]

No real updates, but I got her up my driveway and into the garage, so I can start tearing her down and get some work done.

[jalopi]

And with that the car is going off the road for 3 years.

?? Doing the rebuild?

Also, what were all the tickets for? The exhaust?

[FunfGan]

Anddddd we made it







The next morning Micah came down all the way from Pittsburgh, and two streets before where we were staying broke his transmission case. So after some welding and a whole lot of temporary JB weld, he was ready to roll.







So we headed to the S|W Air Affair meet, which was really rad. Mike and the guys did a swell job of organizing and keeping the stupidity down from the H2o crowd. Saw some Corgis and some cool cars, have a sample. Terrible compression thanks to photobucket.



































Then later that night







This unfortunately became a trend for the rest of weekend. Moral of the story: OCPD hates America.








Later that night I picked up a sticker from a super rad Canadian friend.

Bet you can't guess his name.

(this is a joke)

(laugh now)








I also manage to spear a coffee cup leaving a meet. It is still hanging on and scraping.








Someone gave me this "Dusty" sticker while I was pulled over being introduced the long arm of the insecure law, which ended with many, many tickets for doing nothing but being American. Cool B)

I don't know what Dusty is, but it was cool and seemed ignorant so why not put it on the gauge cluster?








On the way home I rolled with some of the Dapper guys, and a cool kid by the name of Brian snapped this pic while I passed.











And with that the car is going off the road for 3 years.


So I'll be back with updates or pictures of stickers or pretty girls or something idk.

[FunfGan]

So now for the hell that has been my last 2 weeks or so, with some seriously awesome times with some great friends thrown in.


So on the Sunday before H2o(planned to leave on thursday night, had work everyday except for thursday itself) I was doing a look over of the car as I do before long trips and joy of all joys, my clutch pedal snapped off the firewall. This was due to the stupid way I had mounted it when I was 17. Do it right, do it once.


So I got some materials and got a basic patch down to at least get my to H2oi, and I'd be ordering a pedal box when I got back.









I got some new hardware, bolted it up, and everything was fine and dandy on Tuesday. Later that day, my rollbar came in. So I threw it in the back of the car, and headed over my friends house!(don't try this at home, professional redneck here). Got it in within an hour, all bolted up. Albeit it was dark, so these pics are from Thursday. Not that it matters. Just being honest.






So the car was a filthy mess, looking like this








So I cleaned it out, and was met with this(after I repainted all the chrome sound deadening)







So I got packed up, and packed the car up.








Then headed to my good friend Andrews house to meet up with a few other friends to head out to H2oi!

[FunfGan]

In for the mullet.


But seriously love seeing updates on this car! haha

Thanks man! Sorry they're pretty boring as of now.

And got some stickers in the mail for a blog I'm now a "photographer" for.

H2oi prep checklist:

- Do a burnout
- Grow a Mullet
- Buy many 6' x 9' American flags from HF

Yes :D

I might be coming down as well - all depends on if I can get my car running right or not in the next two weeks. Runs HOT HOT if you're sitting still for too long and the transition from the idle jets to the mains is terribad right now.

[FunfGan]

Pumped to see this at h2o man

Thanks dude!

Your car will be down there too, I take it? Thing is gorgeous...
