OK, after encountering some serious obstacles in getting my own car apart and back together (some admittedly self-inflicted)... I'm coming home from work last night in the jeep and, long story short, "coolant expulsion" occurred.

car is sitting at pickerings waiting for tear-apart.

on the good news end of things... the diff is in, the axles are up, the rotors and pad carrier brackets are on (the rear), and if I can figure out the caliper dust boots I will be sitting pretty.

just need to add diff fluid, chase threads on one bolt hole, get the rear calipers and lines installed, rear swaybar, gas tank, exhaust, then the front brakes.

might look like a lot, but in truth the caliper dust boots and re-installing the gas tank are the only things that are real "obstacles" the rest is just assembly time.

that sucks... of course, you didn't need me to tell you that... ;)

At least the coolant didn't spray you in the face and torso like on of my friends resulting in a trip to the emergency room and lots of burns.

I'll have a drink for you tonight Jer....

dude, you want chemical burns??? I got brake-cleaner rash in all sorts of places (thankfully not "that" place, however).

I'll have a drink for you tonight Jer....

you do that, mr. not-so-helpful-helper-monkey.

you do that, mr. not-so-helpful-helper-monkey. Ding!

:rofl

could have used a hand last night man... I am in SO much pain right now.

Holy crap man. That looks like a lot of work.

have a few brake lines to finish, three calipers, one sway-bar. one gas tank, and one diff bolt (long story, requires trip to hardware store because me=idiot).

then bleed the brakes and clean out the cobwebs.

This is actually coming along pretty quickly for one of your projects! If you are planning on working tonight, I might have some time to help on some of the 2-man stuff.

crappers man... watta pain :(

the biggest difference with this is that I can ALWAYS do out for 20-30 minutes and accomplish something, knock it off the list. THAT is what makes this so much better.

Its not so much been a lack of ability or huge roadblocks, but just a lack of time on this, but I've still managed to do SOMETHING everyday (except friday). and its always something measurable.

I'll be home tonight, and will be working on the car. we should be able to get it pretty close if you have an hour or two, badeer.

He's very, very close to being done. All that remains is re-installing the fuel tank and putting the wheels back on. The brakes should be a nice upgrade....at least they look darn good. :)

as armen could have told you at 10pm last night... IT LIVES!!!!!

exhaust needs bolting up, and that's all.

:needpics

:confused:

i had camera full of pics from last weekend, but it was forgotten at the embassy suites in downtown lincoln room 727....by the time i got home and realized it was still there, the maid had cleaned it and had no recolection of said disposable camera...

notice i said room 727...i specifically requested that room so i would remember the room number when i stumbled back at 3am and also wrote it on magic marker on my room key card....

said camera also had pics (all G-rated....) on it of your favorite helper monkey with a friend who happened to formerly be employed by a website that featured her wearing a smile.....

no pics man... but my fingernails are as nasty as they've ever been...

was she inflatable? since all your other girlfriends have turned out to be frauds...

nah, it was my friend Sally, better known as www.ClaudiaKlein.com for a number of years, she works for Letterman now..... :devillook

I almost brought my camera to take pics of brake assembly. would have been nice to capture the bling before it all got dirty today. :)

it aint dirty yet man... if you want pics, go get em.

rawk. mojo gets his pics....

I have a camera too.... just don't know WHERE.....

Well, not only is Jeremy's beast terrorizing the streets again, but I now have fully-functional door locks once again! JBWeld should ensure that they remain fully-functional for a while, too.

NICE.... exhaust on late tonight... AFTER the CCA social thingie... you coming down adam?
