Some not so good news came up from my land lady yesterday. I can't run my extension cord to my garage anymore and when I asked what I could do she said I'm not suppose to be working on cars out there anyway....she says this while I'm in the middle of my second clutch job in this garage.... this issue she has, added with the new neighbors bitching about us, is making us look for a house with some friends to rent. It's frustrating because we have been here since September of '08 without a SINGLE COMPLAINT. I suppose I'm more lucky she doesn't know I've just done an engine swap and a 2nd clutch job....


For the moment I'm going to have to sneak out there at night, pull the driveshaft, front axles and bleed to brakes so my dad and I can flat tow it to their place so I can finish it up. This shit sucks but it's life, can't let it slow me down. :sport017:

I went through the same shit when I used to live in IL. It starts to get really annoying.

Bled the brakes and rolled it outside to take the front axles out and pull the driveshaft. Either tonight or this weekend my dad and I will be flat-towing it to their place.

Anyways, I decided to snap a couple pics in the daylight:

Once I get the car running and driving fine, it's going to Zach's place in Redwing so we can weld in good metal.

Took the driver's side off. Not nearly as bad as the pass. side:

I would cry if that was my car.

It comes with the territory IMO. Me, unlike most people, have WAY less money than time, so I'd rather work than spend a lot of money on my car...


Plus me and a friend are going in on a shell for super cheap with good panels among other things so we'll be cutting and welding.

My eyes automatically started crying. But I have a shell from Utah.
I say good on you for working thru it. I have to check your car sometime in person I like all the work you have done.
