    Spent another day playing around. Ya, work is play. I'm good like that. I stoopidly left a box ful of replacement parts at home. Brought a $h!t ton of other stuff, but that 1 box had quite a lot in it. So I accomplished other tasks. Mostly asthetic.. As the box had go-go parts in it. Worked on removing wireharness after i finally found the one that will go in. Slowly putting the enterior back to good shape. Cleaned up a lil more of the engine bay. But really, today (10 am-8pm) was mostly asthetic. Bummer, but was still productive.

            Filling in soem blanks between the process... I sold off all the jdm goodies quite some time ago. clear corners went too. Than some time around this year i think i picked up a 90 Familia rear garnish with rear fogs. Hacked off them bad boys. got the rear spoiler properly installed..

            Today.. sucked.. I dragged the bp to the front of the car. then the tranny too. can't them together right.. Alignment issue. I borrowed a clutch aligmnet tool, think i got it done. just don't feel comfotorable with it. Thinking it's still off. Got a call from the fam. issues.. had to come home right away after only getting a couple hours on the car.

            crap.. i need the pics uploaded as i have some questions but can't find the card rearer!!!! btw, does the sohc intake work on a bp....? i doubt it, just curious

                  Well my friends.... the car has a new home.. So best begin a new chapter for this machine....


                  Oh.. my bad... did i forget to mention i moved... i have a house... WITH A 2 CAR GARAGE!!!!!!!! ok, technically not a house, i didn't buy it.. it's a duplex.. but it's a house to me

                  this is prolly the biggest thing to happen for me in a while. I can finally work on my cars. Not worry about getting yeld at for $H!T!!!!! have 2 room mates.. they both pretty much live on the 2nd story. It's 3 bdr, 2 full bath. My stipulation was since I get the garage, i'll take the smallest room. Although i really could use the master room as i have more furniture and my roomies have next to nothing (i have the entire place furnished with my own stuff) I felt this was more fair. So... after 5 hours of getting the car finally on a trailer which i rented for $50.. paid $31 in fuel for my friend bringing his truck down. Bought tie down ratchets and bungee coord to hold the driveline in place.. ($32) it's done. in my home, and dear god it's nice!!!

                  still dunno when the car will be finished, but now i can truly work on it. and at my own pace..

                    Great!!!! That's kickass, guy!

                    I've actually just found a place in town that I want to buy. Gotta actually check it out and stuff, but it's got a separate garage building that's high enough to put a lift in!!!
