    Filled her up with 93 octane. Cleaned a few pounds of Amish bugs off the windscreen.

    Installed four H-Sport adjustable control arms and two KONI FSD shocks on the rear end.
    The shocks were a breeze except the bottom bolt on the left side and the control arm bolts in the rear frame were a pisser. Seems like it fought me all day but I won.:biggrin5:

    I wish I had gone shooting too, but instead, I went to a gun show on Saturday and Sunday to sell a few 1911s I had. I managed to sell only five. Headed out tomorrow to see a couple dealers about buying some more. I still have 75 1911s left. I really like Red Robin too.

    Shoot me another PM if you need help removing the old one and installing the new one. I will give you my number and we can talk it over.:Thumbsup:


    Today at lunch I went to Best Buy and picked up Led Zeppelin new release "Celebration Day" Live Dec 10th 2007 concert from the O2 Arena, London.

    Blu-Ray and double CD and DVD of the Rehealsal sessions.

    If you are a Zep fan this is a must buy! :Thumbsup: :Thumbsup: :Thumbsup: :Thumbsup:

    Yesterday I installed a power steering cooling fan cover to keep trash out of the fan and causing problems with the power steering pump down the road. I also installed a cubby that goes in front of the cigarette lighter, it will come in handy for my sunglasses. I plan on also adding the later model center console that goes all the way up to the seat heater switch/mirror switches. I also installed a SAMCO intake hose from my DDMworks Cold Air Intake and connects to the bypass valve and has the spigot for the hose that goes to the valve cover. I got my WMW 15% pulley kit but that will have to wait until I get the A.T.I. Super Damper Crank Pulley and motor mounts as I want to replace all of this at one time since my mechanic is going to be in there and also add a WMW Tensioner stop.

    Brought Dark Helmet out of the garage, quick coat of Speed Shine and now he's waiting to drive down to the COMO gathering at Tommy's Pizza and hang with the Classics and New Gens.

    :cornut: I brought a GP35/Browning High Power 9mm enemy pistol home from the wars and plan to keep it in the family also. I also have a 'nose cone' from a Pave Way laser guided bomb that I lased into the target. Upon bringing it home and showing it to my lovely wife, she about had a heart attack. After recovering her senses, she showed me her inspector's stamp on it. She worked for a defense contractor at the time. Small World.:Thumbsup:
