Wife is out of town and I had a choice of either driving Vlad or her new Audi Q5 to work today. Considered it for about 1.5 seconds.
I love this car. I love the fact that it is MY car; I have crafted it (with my own hands) to fit the vision I had almost 2 years ago now. Still more to do, but there always will be.
Shit-eating grin with a "look back" every time I park it.

Work has been slow the past couple of days so I browsed all 32 pages across Friday afternoon and this morning. Thanks for the great documentation. It's definitely inspirational to finally get my own project back on track and you've given me a few ideas moving forward. The Crank nut thing scares the shit out of me when I mess with putting an engine back together. I don't know what "worst case scenario" would be on that type of failure, but I don't want to find out either. You got away with one there for sure. Beautiful car, not sure I would emulate everything done to it, but there's plenty to drool over. Keep it up!

Glad I could help you waste time.

It's not wasting time if I'm learning something right? And football season is over so I'm running out of opinion articles to read.

Got the new subframe with the IE adjustable camber/toe kits welded in back from my guy. I'm gonna media blast and paint it. I will put powerflex subframe bushings in.
Vlad's current subframe that already has powerflex bushings will go into Maytag which needs new subframe bushings. Everyone wins!
