I was just busting Mr. T's chops a bit, only cuz we've talked a lot in the past, he had hopes and dreams. I was all excited for him, helped him with planning advice, etc. I check back on my peeps, see what their status is.

I do understand his situation, at least he is being financially responsible and he's trying to satisfy his tuner heart how he can. He also takes the time to find deals to complete his plans and has plans, seems focused. That's good.

Definitely try for the 50 shot nitrous, dry is usually cheaper and easier to install.

you have helped. i will never forget that either man. ill always be sure to ask you for help.


and i do plan on moving forward with this project. just wont be right now tho. maybe next year....i should be getting a raise at work

so how is everything goin there T?

all goin good. got the header wrap on. seems to run a CRAP load smoother than before. waiting to get the paint done. but before that i have a few more things i have to get done before that. just sold my Skunk2 coilovers so i got a tad bit of extra money. haha. i might do my wagon rotor swap since i have enough for the rotors and pads right now.


ill save it for next week and see what happens.

yeah. ima build a little shelter in the back yard. just something i can build up and tear down easily. probably wont cost me more than like $100. i might just use some metal pipping to do it.


and yes. this time. ima do it right. no more rushing. no more rollers. just wait. middle of next month, ill have me a nice glossy paint. ooooooo.....i just cant wait to try this thing out.

[Shadow1]

dag. no love? wtf? lol. probably because i havent posted any pics. well ill get some pics up next week when the paint is done. here are some plans for the next few months:



Suspension:
-MR coilover sleeves(rated at 8k F./6k R.) might go with some Tanabe coils if these arent stiff enough.
-strip rims of paint. stupid Krylon isnt sticking at all. ive tried everything and nothing works. so ill be using my detail paint gun to paint them.
-new UCA and bushings
-Progress rear sway bar


Brakes:
-Wagon rotor swap
-Vigor calipers
-sand rust off of rear rotor and repaint.

Exterior:
-sand and paint

Interior:
-paint dash
-freshen up door panels
-5% tint in rear, 35% in front
