For the Children: Ol Dirty Bastard gets a build thread (e24 content)

I need an update soon

An update finally!


Well, sort of.


A few weeks ago, ODB had his radio stolen while sitting in front of my parents place in Redlands. I'd figured since they live in what's normally considered a nice part of town on a cul de sac that only has their house on it, it'd be ok to leave the car unlocked. Especially since from the main street and while on it's temporary wheels, it doesn't look like anything special. Well I learned the hard way that I was wrong. They didn't break the glass to get in, but they did ruin my center console getting the radio out.

However, Jason (JFarhanbod) thankfully had a Lotus white center console out of his parted out e24, which he let me have for the cost of driving out to his place, along with some B pillar covers to replace my worn out pair, and a heavy duty steel skid plate.

I retook the CA physical therapist assistant rules and regulations exam on the 22nd of August, and passed. Then had to wait till today to get my CA license to work. So hopefully by the end of next week I'll be hooked up with a travel or contract job and I'll be able to start back on this project. It won't make it to SoCal Vintage, sadly. My goal is to have it on the wheels, with flares, and be solid and comfortable enough to drive out to Southern Worthersee next year. Fingers crossed.

Congrats on passing the big exam! Wanna see it with those lips and flares!

Thanks dude! And yes, I'll be ordering new barrels, tires, and some flares soon with any luck.

Thanks! Unfortunately the Big Dirty won't be there. Don't have wheels for him to roll on, the temporary 15s I have are bald in the front and barely clear the bags.
