At the risk of hijacking this thread, I know I'm a tool.
Thanks for noticing.

did you get my friendship payment?

hit another wall...had to order inner and outer tierods for the manual rack as the power steering tie rods are not the same size.

also didnt get to do the brakes because i need to get the mounting hardware for the brake booster and i might as well give everything a good cleaning before i put it in.
i did drop the headliner off at the upholstry shop yesterday and they called me today to tell me they found the headliner material i want.

Don't know, need to check. I literally have not had time to get
400 yards to the mailbox. Business is nuts.

[SoCal_Cabby]

thats a good thing.
im thinking about getting a VA business loan

[sixsracing]

I was so scared when I did it, I can't even tell you.
Hasn't been that bad. Course the wife has picked up
a lot of the slack. I had a $7,000.00 increase on the
net last year and this year is starting out stronger. If
you can swing it, do it.

i put the car on jack stands, removed the front wheels, disconnected the tie rods from the steering knuckles, then decided to buff the paint on my jetskis...lol

On this coast that would be pussying out. Don't know
waht they call it out there.

i cant really do anything till the new tie rods come...so rather than be nonproductive i polished up the jetskis

[sixsracing]

[SoCal_Cabby]
