hehe, No side skirts.. Just some careful paint [one of the Krylon anti-rust paints.. glossy black ~$5.99]

I had pulled over to read the directions [because my cousin was reading them slower than I was driving them ~_~], and I had to turn right after the edge I was on to get back on track.. but there was a deep storm drain.. *drop*scrape*curse*
[we were actually driving to look at an FB for him to buy.. Anyone want a drag race-stripped FB that needs an alternator?]


Back to the paint work.. Still trying to decide whether or not to continue the stripe on the front and back..
as of now it looks great, so I'm tempted to do more..

Well it's not really a hole, but it is too deep to do just bondo atm...
I'd really like to try pulling it out, but the metal is pretty stiff right there [being curved so tightly normally, and now being crunched in...] [btw.. I seriously hate body work, so that's part of why I haven't tried it..]
Anyway.. That's part of the reason I choose black, so that people wouldn't notice it *quite* as much..
I think it's fairly unnoteworthy - judging by the latest day picture.. [and people usually don't notice it until I point it out anyway..]

Well my Dad and I got the new clutch on, and the engine in place, but I'm not sure if I found the right bolts to hold it to the tranny [we put a few in place but I'm not sure if they're correct] the engine mounds are secured though

Other than that I'm going to clean the intake system parts and go get a wiring harness from a guy over in SE Portland.. and maybe kidnap Marc ^_-

Sorry I don't have any good picts of Sousuke [the project car], but it needs cleaned and repainted too...

Well I'm pretty sure I'll need help..
I put probably more than half the nuts, bolts and washers in a little bag because Marc insisted that he would be able to help me put it back together :P [Marc, I think I'm still waiting for you to call..]

and I have to get the wiring harness.. but I don't remember what I need to remove to get to it [I have to pull it off the guy's car]

I'll post more later [I'm at work right now...]
