Well I made a little purchase on Fri for the back of the car...

THIS

I bought it used for a good price (MUCH less than listed here).

I'll need to tweak the P-Hard bar brace a bit and probably lengthen the upper links a bit, but those are no big deal.

Not often enough.

I just drove it today, but it had been sitting for a couple weeks before that.
The weather is supposed to be iffy the rest of the week, so I figured I'd better get it out.  My parking situation makes it kind of tedious to get out of the garage, so I need to plan for it so I'm not late for work if I want to drive it in the AM :p



Sounds like you drive it about as much as I drive mine;)

Well I just used it as a back drop ;)  It's 5-10 minutes from the house.

Not much progress on the 5-link.  Too much time being spent on the new motor mount project. (That, and working 2 jobs...)

Did you lower that car? Or is it just the monster rims filling up the wheel wells?
