I sadly have not updated this in a while. Tomorrow my dad and I are going to work on some underbody stuff... brakes and what not. I've been pumpin cash into my daily driver now that schools back in, and my sis is getting her permit... I dont have a lexus es 300 to play around with.

That silver sucker should be grateful! new gas tank, sender unit, axle boots, stereo (essential for a music enthusiast like myself)

but the orange bug gets to be priority numero uno again... when I get new tires for it, these ones are going on the silver bug. Next weekend I'm going to try to finish the motor, and do the first startup outside the car over at my uncle's place. this is it guys, the final stretch! then i drop it off at the interior place and kick back :p
