Really love what you've done with it. The hood is just icing on top of the cake.

This brings us to this past week. One night I was over my friends house as I normally am, hanging out with people and working on cars. I had just finished pulling my dash to redo the gauges as well as wiring. My hood was off, and in a safe place(or so I thought). My friend's, mother's boyfriend pulled in and ran over my original hood :( I wasn't very upset at first, but it is a bit sad having to ditch an original piece from the car. We had a spare bronzit hood lying around, so grabbed that and on it went.








Then the next day, after finding oil all over the floor, I realized I had stripped the fitting on my oil pressure gauge. So after a run to Salve, and spending the last $20 in my pocket, I had a new gauge.







Then came the fourth of July... I will not explain, just use pictures. And thank my friend Miller for the two awesome teaser shots from the shoot.






I'm in love with this shot

So I realized I haven't updated my thread in a while, so 'ear goes.


So I finally pulled the heat gun, a rag and a large crow bar out and straightened my valance more.








Realized my car is a little on the small side.







Someone messed up my fender. I don't know who, and I'm not pointing fingers, but...







Finally cleaned my trunk up, and started reinstalling all the pieces. I'm planning on fabric dying/ spraying the carpet, as it appears it was used to spay paint something a while back... Whoops.







Went rallycrossing, rip some skids








Then as I was driving home from work one day, tragedy struck. After 7000+ miles, countless 6+ hour trips and many months, my clutch pedel went right to the floor :( Once again, my rebuilt slave cylinder bit the dust.

So I ordered two rebuild kits(you know, just in case) and got to work. While tearing apart the slave assembly, my friend thought to pull out a caliper and measure the push rod, as the fluid was full of metal shavings. It varied by as much as .5mm, in terms of diameter. To explain, it turns out that it was not the angle the slave was pulling at(caused by the rod not being centered/ isolated in the original bell-housing clutch cable mount), but rather, the rod had been scraping on the old mount and metal shavings had gotten into the fluid, and eaten the o-ring, causing it to leak. So after I rebuilt it, I built a temporary bushing until I cut a real polly or aluminum one(which would require an integrated grease fitting and it's own o-ring).










Then my friend and I(mostly him) finish up my fathers new car, meet Heidi. She's been my daily for the past few weeks.
