I'll be alright as long as i can start working on my car around November 1st. I've had this poor thing apart enough times that i can have the motor out in less than 2 hours by myself, do all the work i need to do that same day, and put it all back together the next day.

The only thing that i'm REALLY not looking forward to is the Koni inserts job. Blargh.

Well... and the large amount of wiring work i need to do to both cars.

Happy to help with any local logistics beforehand, if there is something you need done here on the ground. Just give me a shout.

I'll second that. Being local has some advantages.

Car has been back together and running well for over a week now!

To Do:

  • waiting for a few small bits in the mail

  • install struts and shocks

  • chase down 1 or 2 small electrical issues

  • tape and string alignment

  • realign hood actually straight this time

  • meet with possible sponsor this weekend

  • update budget to reflect sold parts and insure no tax was counted

  • Prepare mentally and physically for coming in last place in car show

  • 10 day Caribbean cruise ending 2 days before leaving for Challenge

I could be ready in an afternoon; probably wait until the last minute like usual...

There's a motor and E36 M3 in this thing. Will probably tune both cars on the way down to Florida. You know, just to keep it interesting.

That river hardly ever catches fire anymore.

Burning River Ale by Great Lakes Brewery is good!
