Ichiriki Instant Ramen

This is how Instant Ramen should be. From Tsuruga, Japan, it's my favorite ramen joint made instant! OMFG! It's still not AS good as being there, but it sure brings back some great memories...

A4 is done.

The bumper is wet sanded with 400 grit paper to even everything outNext, everything is cleaned and scuffed with a grey scotchbrite pad.
and finally, in paint with a few coats of clear:

now as soon as I'm done getting over this damn cold, it's back to work on the Cortina

A4 continued...

It's in Primer and ready to paint, just final sanding to do!

Summer School

So after runing my trunk lid, I've got a repaired again, and now the Cortina will be on hold until next week or so. Starting yesterday I've been working on the rear bumper of a A4. This should be in primer tonight, and paint on Monday:

The Big Easy

So I spent Friday-Tuesday in New Orleans for work. The downtown area hasn't changed a bit, you really couldn't tell that a Huricane came thru that city. Outside of the downtown area is another story, and it really is sad to see the city not being rebuilt.

But, Louisana does have my favorite beer, so what did I get to enjoy nightly? Draft and Bottled ABITA AMBER BEER. Holy. Shit. MMMMMM

The foods great, the people are great, the beer is freaking awesome. I'll have to go back again one of these days, just not in the summer, as I don't think I can stand 90 degrees with 91% humidity.

Shige done me right
