trying to do this right.

[jalenda9]

So I've been getting decent hours at work lately and I should be getting gcs sooner than later. Said hours on a crinkled piece of paper:

[jalenda9]

Because Honda haha. I've done most of the preventive maintenance except the water pump and t belt. Probably do it in the spring though.

[loekaaz]

I see no engine servicing bills

[jalenda9]

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if I was gonna pull the trigger on the konis because I probably should have waited but I didn't really care haha. I feel like I work hard enough at taco bell to buy these and I get decent hours so its not a huge hit. But nonetheless, I appreciate you guys checking my build out and hopefully it will continue to get better with time.

I'm so glad to see no ebay coilovers or anything like that has been on your ebay buys, staying true to your thread title!

Keep up the good work, looking forward to more.

Dang. Cant wait to see this car finally getting low.

[jalenda9]

I'll just leave this here



And also saw this Lil thang:

I know I said I was going to get progress cs2 coils but the konis were on sale so I had to.. Should be getting some ground controls in the next month or so with other miscellaneous bits.

[jalenda9]

Thanks boss. Color was really random and goes with nothing but I didn't really care haha

[SnazzyQ]

Damn that Nardi shift knob looks amazing.

Also that valve cover looks sweet.

[jalenda9]

Thanks man! Its coming along slowly but surely. I'm probably going to start working on suspension and other little things as it gets warmer out. I just want to do it right haha

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Progress!

[jalenda9]

Okay so little updates. I'm saving money for coilovers right now should be able to get them within the next month or so with a little money to spare. Anyway I bought a spare valve cover to paint since I didnt want to use the one on my car since I would need to drive it(if I could haha) so I bought another. Said valve cover all prepped and stripped for ugly paint lol:
Now:
That nardi shift knob came and I sanded,stained and lacquered it: before

After:

That's it for now guys...will update soon.

[jalenda9]

So I might be making the two hour drive to check out exactly what's wrong with my car because the tech who looked at it(not my choice because I didn't have a jack to look at it myself) might have just been trying to feed his family. Anyway, I got some pictures of stuff that I've been stashing/storing for this spring/summer to get to. Said pics that will be too large and someone will get pissed so pissaway haha:


I'm a shift knob hoarder also. I've had three OEM knobs, a bubble, momo, some anodized silver one, and I currently have a leather nardi i bought for 80 dollars. Waste of money I know lol. Any who, I just bought another nardi for mad cheap and hopefully I can work my refinishing skills. A few that I found in a box:

[jalenda9]

Got a outer tie rod and a couple of parts ordered and hopefully I'll be buying some progress csll's and lowering it in the spring hopefully but yeah I just bought a couple things. I also haveanother actual nardi shift knob and I picked up the wooden one for dirt cheap but its authentic and I an on refinishing it. I'm a shift knob hoarder haha.
