Alright, so last Sunday I got back from Arizona State. Had a fantastic year filled with concerts,
lady-friend adventures, and 2 AM In-n-Out and Walmart runs,
but nothing is as good as returning to a car that starts up on the first crank the second
you get home. Finally changed the oil, something I should have done probably quite a while ago. Now it is running on 10w40.
Spent a lot of time in Arizona as a part of the SAE Baja team and prepping for competition in a few weeks.
Also made a year end trip to the grand canyon with my girlfriend. She has a 1975 Maverick that I get to mess with next year
BUT YEAH...
THERE'S SOME REALLY EXCITING STUFF COMING YOUR WAY
Tune in to see seam welded and stronger rear towers, coilovers all around, some sweet painting skills, and possibly an engine swap.
In the long term, I am probably going to get a Jeep next year for college and off road
shenanigans, and once I get my humble abode with a garage, I plan on
tube framing the car and dropping in a HEFTY engine into it.
YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Im so excited to see this thing back!
Oh you don't even know how I feel. Too many times I wanted to go for a stress relieving drive in Arizona, but driving someone else's car doesn't feel the same.
Tomorrow I am picking up my bosses MIG, am going to start on some body repair this upcoming week. Now that I have a very steady and decent income from construction, I will actually be able to afford stuff. Wish I could change the name of this thread, but oh well. Technically I still have 8 months left of teen-hood . Also in the works is a duck tail with a radical secret to it, and some shock tower bracing to hold up the rear coils I'm modifying.
On a side note, I have fallen in love with the ability to have a full blown shop at the tip of my fingers. I am spoiled with use of a 4 point car life and numerous CNC machining equipment, as well as a welding room that Miller uses at their showcase. My TIG aluminum has improved quite a bit!
Yeah I have been pretty boring. Working full time hit hard, but it is really nice to have the spare cash. It allows me to do stuff like this:
For the Celica community I am doing reproduction lenses. Finding a good clean set of "flat lights" will run you a good 300 for the lenses, alone. I am probably going to branch out once I get this finished I think I am going to branch out to Corolla lenses and other 70's Japanese plastic. We are seriously lacking in the repro-depot
It also helps having complete access to CNC tools and an injection press.
