oh...after working on Gringo's car, tucked ABS and fan wires to passenger to fender rail. Cleaned up the engine bay oh...1%...next adventure will be to rewire battery and relocate fuse boxes from engine bay to rear bins.

This wasnt today, I posted probably two weeks agobut here goes, new ftp,s put fog lights back in and a pic of the cracked bumper, Ill post one of the non cracked one soon. Now today I changed my Tps because my check engine light for pressure sensor is blinking on and off if I tap the throttle at idle or about half throttle it blinks on and off. So any Ideas on the check engine light would be great. I changed the pressure sensor so its not that.

Haha no problem red. So worked on all the crap on hardcores 88, prepped mine to go on the trailer for its journey to tampa wednesday. Oh and evidently forgot to put the radiator cap back on like a dumbass and drove it to the store. Refilled radiator and cleaned all the antifreeze off the car. So hopefully shes ready for some florida roads when I get there now.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Eddie...he got the car you sent to me...and I sent it to Mark. I just put something large under contract so no drains on the reserves for 30-90 days.

Mark will def make some cash back as I may have sold one of his other cars lol...he owed me a handjob or something.

I'll be happy getting the EVO-r's from him if I can find where to buy just the covers.

Kevin

give evo-r a call say you got a set or two that have yelowing lenses and **** and want to buy new ones, ill be down for a couple covers.

On a side note, what did you say was on it etc cause there are some things that I'd like to snag out of it if I can, irregardless wooo I doubt that bank will approve him.

I agree with you on the bank but you never know. I walked into mine and they were like, "What do you need? Oh sure no problem, here you go."

Then again they could rape my business accounts and personal account if I didn't pay them so I don't think they were worried.

I didn't tell him anything that came with the car so whatever you guys agree on. If you give me what you are trying to sell it with, I'll put the word out. Let me know when you are going to be at the garage, I'd like to see the new acquisition.

If I could name rape you I'd probably change your title to something like, "Owner of 3 FD's = Biggest Rotary ***** in North Florida."

Replaced a couple of old clamps with some new ones...added shine sidesteps. Side note: Amazing the number of people that apparently mount these incorrectly to these cars and tap into the cars body...not needed...unless you want some super sticking out ultra wide aggressive look I guess.
