not to much here....just alotta working....not getting much working done on the car either....it did finally pass emissions tho with flying colors....so im good on that for another year or so....and i just parked the car...so i can get started on my projects for the fall and winter months.....these projects include:

taking off both bumpers, handles, quarter windows, mirrors, moldings, spoiler, lights, and any other thing that has to be taken off for paint
doing all the body work and priming
welding in patches for the floor pans
rust proofing the underbody
new window motors
all new poly bushings including body mount bushings
boxed in upper and lower rear control arms
install my traction bars
and any other little problems

i know the list is big...and im gonna try to stick with this plan as much as i can but....we'll see.....oh yeah possibly lower the car 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear

i will take pictures of all the progress and post them here when i figure out how to post pictures

Hey,

I've been working a ton but have found time to get to ocean a couple of times. As always LoneStar sux but hey i did get two raises this summer so it's not all bad. I'm excited to finally start Towson Uni. this fall and work on my teaching degree so i can have a real job and not work at the Star for the rest of my life. This summer has been one of the best so far. I haven't really worked on either of my vehicles but o well they are fine the way they are.

On a side note: I did get my motorcycle learners so i'm pretty happy about that. Twisted Evil LOOK OUT

I hope everyone had a great summer and looking forward to OC in October Very Happy O and this time i'm not trying to run lol

i filled out an application at Hot Imports Night in Atlanta 2 weeks ago. I got an email saying a major company was interested in a full sponsorship. I filled out another form and i got a phone call from them saying they accepted me. They said they wanted some Volvos because a group of my friends went to the bristol show and all 5 of them won awards.

And this thing is legit? Do you have to have an import? It seems too good to believe Rolling Eyes Confused
