    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.


    Go here be happy!

        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.

            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.

              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.

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

                Comment


                  It's an early model is lip.

                  Eh, like maybe 12 city, close to 20 highway?

                        Very well, too well.





                        Did some stuff yesterday. Being sideways at 60+ mph is more exciting than I imagined.
