why

Why is it I have to like old cars, and cars that parts are hard to come by on. Why can't I just have some american or japanese car that they make tons of parts for, yet i go for the weird old english cars. seriously, why?

Radiators out at the shop, hopefully they can save it, shocks/struts are at the shop, it's been a couple of days, i seriously hope the old man at the shop can swap out the shocks for me. it really sucks when you know how to do the repair, but don't have the tools to do it. i need more tools.

Started autobody classes a couple weeks ago, and i seriously don't know why it's taken me this long to have taken this course. i've learned a lot in the first couple weeks already, this week, since tina isn't running yet, i'll have to take the bonnet off and work on it bit by bit.

oh, and when people bug you to go to the dentist, you should listen, and not wait a few years.

good times to come in the next few weeks at the dentist!

Holy F$*K

tina.

Tina in the lovely Lotus Colors

Tina in red and gold, nice, but i hate red cars.

well, the pickup is now officially sold and the tina is in the driveway. I was checking out prices on the alternator conversions for the tina, and one place has em for $389. I suppose that ain't a bad price considering you get all the brackets, wires and new alternator, but somehow that seems a touch expensive to me. I'll have to pop the bonnet on the tina this weekend and see if there's a way i can fab up my own alternator mounts.

Oh, and wheels. motherf'ing english cars! seriously you can't come up with a bolt pattern that a bunch of other cars have do you? i mean 4x108? WTF gives me like 3 choices on wheels. how f'ed up is that?!?!?! I guess i've settled on Panasports, either in the bronze or gold, to go with the White/Green Lotus colors i have planned for the tina. although, knowing me, i may change my mind on paint before the month is over. speaking of paint, class starts next weekend, so hopefully they'll show me the ways of working out dents in metal.

Interior: gonna have to go black seats/black door cards/maybe flat black dash, and deep red carpet.

Sorted out what i want to run suspension wise, which is pretty simple for the time being, konis all around, if i can find GT springs, then those, if not, i'm gonna chop a coil off the standard ones, and get lowering blocks for the rear leafs. hopefully i get about a 2" drop all around and have the panasports tuck nicely.

O wells, i told dave i'll have this shit running by superbowl, so i'll have my weekends cut out for me.

great way to start the new year.

Happy New Year

Happy 2007.
