Sounds like a plan ;o) Either that or we'll get something going in NoVa since we have the 3rd most FDs in the country ;o).

I've been down since 02 lol. Had my Blue, T66 Jaytech semi-bridge FD almost done before I desided to part out the project and build my current one. I'm done being an FD wrench monkey, soon as I get back into the states I'm hoping right back onto the wiring and fab to get her on the road so I can actually enjoy her while I'm still somewhat young.

Bobfish... Don't make fun of me.. I was just cleaning everything and din't want it to rust... since the other rusted out after cleaning it.

Most of the parts are painted, some cermic paint, some engine paint.

My next house, Im definitely going to get a bigger garage so that I could put a lift. Not having a lift kills me! Its so worth it just lifting it up and put a car underneath.

Great job man, and the garage is nice. I wish I had room for two also. I am honored to be gracing the lining of such nice FD's. Phil's a good guy and a true rotary enthusiast. Can't wait to see them finished.
When are you going to get the carbon (black/blue) for my stuff??

Incredible, my cup runneth over.

That's what I call dedication, but man how much you want to bet you're going to get all the parts back in, notice a blemish in one of the parts and want to take everything out again.

What TEINs are those that you took out? HAs? I wonder how the new Apex coilovers will compare?

Bushing are Delrins.. All the aluminum pieces are cleaned and clear coated. But it ain't like Jimlabs polished goodies.. I might do that next time.. when I have a lift.

Hashiriya, I'm already planning to pull everything off... before I even put them on...

TEINS will go on my MB (HAs) and I'm sure the Apexi ones will to be stiff.. But I really don't give a damn as its just going to sit most of its life (i have a daily)... I know, its sad

Nice work

Phil, the car is looking sweet. While you are up here in Nashville this weekend do you mind cleaning a few of my parts? I can put it up on the lift to make it easier for you. 8)

Phil needs a bigger garage!!! When I was there about a year ago, his entire downstairs was packed full of parts... that is a good problem to have. Can't wait to see the finished product!

He can feel free to put it all in mine. I have a 3 car garage and a 10x15 storage room next to it.

I hope it is not too long before we get to see the finished product. I am jealous!

Phil you are the man! Your FD's always come out amazing! -- Hopefully one day I'll be able to have as much fun with my favorite model of car as you do... gotta worry about school first though.

Looking good Phil! When (not if) you buy another fd and need a spot to store it just yell. I'll have a slip cleaned out for you in my garage...lol

I know what you mean by being lazy. I've had my rustang in the garage for over a year and the only thing I've accomplished is pushing the engine hoist around to the front of the car!
