The benifits of trucks, and the kindness of people. One guy at RedPepperRacing needed to have an engine taken from a motor shop to his house, and I needed a set of 13"s. Along with that, he threw in stiffer DX springs and rear speaker mounts (****ty door speakers, no more!).



This morning:


It sees daylight again!


The front bumper is too far gone for my efforts. It's cracked, split, warped and generally thrashed in too many places. I'd need a lot of "bumper" bondo to fix it all. It will be replaced later on, should I get motivated.The unprimed sections are where filler was to be layed, which I've just finished. Sand and final priming tonight, and then ready for saturday!
