Got rid of the 11 year old white appliances in the kitchen today and got all new stainless steel. Lowes wanted 220 to install the dishwasher and microwave. Told them I would take care of that. So after waiting on them to take care of the fridge and stove I spent the next hour putting the rest in. Why those 2 were free installation but the microwave wasn't I have no idea.

Just to piss you off 😂

I did ask him if he was screwing with me. His response was that their delivery guys weren't the smartest and I don't want them doing anything beyond plugging something up. So they send a special tech out for the other 2. The microwave did require me to drill new holes since it didn't line up with the old bolt holes. But I mean really come on.

Same here. I think making a set of Nitto 555's last 5 yrs is pretty good

I want to do either a Spaz's Dad burn out or Mr Luos style.....

if I were you I'd be on fucking egg shells around that car.......

Went from warm and sunny to cloudy, breezy and cool in the last few hours.

Rain on and off here today

Went north this afternoon. Traded is some of my broken Craftsman stuff, bought shoes for work and munched Chinese for dinner.

Tools are staged and ready to load for another trip to the building. Just waiting for it to warm up a bit first. I worked on the M151-A1 head this morning. Cleaned the valves and did some cleaning on ports and combustion chambers. So far everything is looking good. The rings arrived on Friday - I think he ended up getting them from a vendor in England. NOS parts from 1973... pretty cool. There are no marks one set of rings, so I am guessing that there is no "top" or "bottom" when they are installed.

Afternoon
Getting some left over plywood from the old house today. It's gone on Thursday

[pajeff02]

Finished working on the entranceway roof at the building, installed some shelves, and swapped out the Trans Am for the Camaro. Going to install new brake hoses, repack the front wheel bearings, and pull a valve cover to see what kind of hardware is under there. I'd like to switch out the high rise M/T covers for a set of period correct stock style GM finned aluminum covers.

test fit the new bmw seats after fixing the red rockets oil leak...Not happening. I knew I should have measured before I picked em. tracks are just too wide and there's no practical way to modify anything to work. pretty hard to narrow up the tracks 7" on a full power seat. oh well, from what I've read online, though, these were desirable seats in the bmw community, so I should be able to dump them pretty easy and possibly make a few bucks.

So, while the stockers are out, I'm installing the stereo system. Managed to get the head unit mounted up and powered. Rca cables, amp turn on, and some speaker wires run under the center console and under the carpet to the trunk, and the 4ga. power wire run from the front of the car under the passenger side sill plate. Nothing quite like adding weight to a vehicle...

did you find any journey cassette tapes buried under the seats?

[GTP231]

I'd put money on them being Air Supply

[Zapper2003]

I can't remember, but it's either REO Speedwagon or ELO that's in the tape deck that was in it when I got it. Still works, too.

[0rion]

damn....I shoulda went REO. You know that's been played in that car 1000 times even if that's not what is currently in the tape deck. There's also been a long handled comb in that bitch at some point too.

Drove the car today for the first time since October. She's still loud and fast.

I gotta get mine out for the first spin of the year. Started clearing out a spot in the garage today so I can get it in there and change the tranny fluid and oil. Give it a good detail on jack stands and it should be ready to roll.

[35th-ANV-SS]

My battery was at 2% because I didn't keep it on the trickle charger nor did I start it all winter. Took about 45 min to get it up to 65% and it fired right up and idled great. Drove it around for about an hour. Hopefully the battery kept its charge.
