Pull the panels off and look up at the latch from the inside witha light.There is a threaded rod that has a plastic holder at the top where it attaches to the handle lever. It probably broke. But on both at the same time is wierd. If you want to swing by on Sunday you can and I can throw the wheel liners on and look at them if you want.

 

I know you all have seen it but I can't get enough

Your probably right! All my free time outside of class is pretty much spent studying or researching so I might have to wait till summer (next month) to do any work on it unfortunately. That's what's been taking me so long to get back to you on the rest of miscelaneous parts, lol.

 

im back from the dead!!! so i was down at my friends new restaurant in mooresville today. and he asked me about getting involved with some car stuff around here. i told him about the crossroads deal and us looking for a moe permanent meet spot. and hes all for it. now the question is do you guys wanna do it? it is right in front of the scuba shop in the shopping center across from lowes. the restaurant is called La Joya Cafe, they have awesome latin and columbian food. very fair priced. so vote on it and lets see where it goes.

 

hey sounds good to me...my boss loves rx-7's (scuba shop)

 

hey josh isnt that the guy from the ice cream bars restaurant?

 

nah hes a friend of mine i used to work with at tk down in the university area.

 

It doesn't matter to me guys. Just make a decision before next months meet. I say go for it. But, you guys need to decide.

 

 

just for fun. been out doin a couple photoshoots with the vert tryin to get some practice with the new photoshop program.

 

Looking good Josh. You could have made the paint look better too

 

How often does everyone meet? I would like to attend the next one.

Chris

 

i think the crossroads gang meets like first sun or something like that? ogta meets first tues every month. i've made like one of each. but the ogta was on a sat tho.

 

every 2nd sunday of the month, with the exception of this months meet, it was the first because we didn't want to interfere with easter plans. as of time and place, we don't have a set one yet, but i wouldn't mind meeting wherever, i'm up for it as long as nothing comes up lol

 

im up for a once n a while saturday meet. Cant do Sundays.

 

ANyone know where I can find a SA front bumper and mounting brackets? I need one for a project.

 

that junkyard i got my lsd from has one...its kinda in the woods though. i would have to go with you to show you where it is.

 

Wanna go Friday?Maybe I can work a deal on the bumper and a rear end..Hmmm

I got bored today and here is what I did, ( Also did it so I could pull the stockers off and repair them..Rust, wheel well lip etc..)
Here are some pics of what I did today to Elizabeth's FC and the FB
.Once you go black...
Turning her interior from Blue to black.


And the FB getting fitted with new bodywork.



And a couple from the trip to Statesville..Man that is a clean windshield!

 

fb is lookin good. guess ur gonna need some seriously wide wheels for that bisch. as for elizabeths car you shoulda just popped the rear hatch and you would have 0 wind resistance except for you being in the drivers seat.
