    i talked to the guy who will help me build the new car and he was adimate that its easier to start fresh. there were a few small details about that cage that i prefer not have on the new car. also there is something i dont like about reusing a safety cage that has been in an accident. it did its job. i got my moneys worth out of it.

    Are you gonna do the same rear Fire Wall Mod? That would be worth saving wouldnt it? 543196_405850219456942_1011672502_n.jpg

    Backed it out of the garage under its own power for the first time in 3 months. Then made half of the intercooler piping. Also installed battery relocation kit. It looked so good in the sunlight (to me anyways) I had to take a few pics.

    For the first time in longtime..........................pushed it up against the rev limiter and hit the trans brake...........................felt really good although the neighbors all came to front doors to see what the heck was going on........................
    Now to pull the engine so I can take off the heads and replace the intake valves (that are all over 10 years old) that are going soft on the tip of the stems........................I replaced the exhaust but thought I could get away with not replacing them.......................................:cry:

    Today I did nuthin. My Wife went in to work to cover the front Office. While I was drinking my coffee she gave me "That Look" and said "If.....you have time today.....I would like you to clean the house"....."If you have time". Well I looked her straight in the eye and "Caved":bowdown:. My dogs are upset with me for kicking them out of the house. My back hurts from all the vacuming and mopping. I need more cupboard space. These walls need repainting. Oh S#!t...Ive been Married Too Long.:sweep:Can the Mods find a symbold for a witch on a broom?:rofl2:
