    I've been meaning to take a grinder to one of my spare valve covers and grind it smooth. Would love to have it smoothed, then maybe chromed for my 02.

    Don't forget about half of the horribly "restored" base model Mustangs at car shows. Chrome never belongs on a performance part, they should speak for themselves.

      some areas are good, like the track subforum but by the time i quit i was only spending time in the toilet of the forum: OT/W&P/PNW.

      Its not a problem on r3v but BMW forums generally attract a lot of terrible people.

            Yellow 2002 has frame rail rot. I think it is going to be a longer resto than I planned.

              Yeah, I think you sell me the shift knob, steering wheel, and wheels and call it done. ;)

                  So i've got the 25th-3rd off... Part of me wants to plan a day/get together (maybe during the week when all the lames are at work) - we all meet up at my house or somewhere near by and get a group photo of all of our cars in their current state. It's been so long since we've all been together in one place, and I know a lot has changed as far as who drives what, etc. etc. Figure we could all meet at the Kenmore park and ride and do the short drive up to my place/gerta's neighborhood.

                  Would anyone be down?
                  July or August?
