feeling better yes, i dont think i passed it yet.

hey is your rear tires rubbing? i went to costco last night with the family and all the weight broke in the springs and now the tires rub on moderate conering. dont they make some rubber blocks to insert in the springs?

My rears have only rubbed twice, once going over a small bridge too fast, and the other was when I went over a dip in the highway while possibly exceeding the speed limit [paranoid]
I didn't know they made rubber blocks to put in the springs, but it seems like that should help. Rolling the fenders will probably do the trick though

Hey Chris I figured out why my headlights were malfunctioning [ohcrap]
Here's the right side factory headlight harness:

And inside of the factory and the Hella harnesses:

So, the harnesses are now cut out, and the Hellas are hard wired to the factory wiring, eliminating the plugs. I already did this to the left side a few months ago, so now it should be all good [thumb]



And here's a teaser pic of my new bumper, still have a lot to do on it

better right now, i went to the urloigist today and found out i have two stones. one is 4mm and the other is 2.5mm. so this ought to be a fun weekend.

good news is i have had a lot of time to work on my door pannels. i got them really smooth, primed and got the first base coat down. should have them on by sunday for sure.

btw todd, use red glazing putty for your final smoothing. much finer than bondo.

Good to hear you're feeling alright, but that sucks you have 2 of those bastards.
Yeah I forgot to say I will be using glazing putty, thx

*EDIT*
My headlights work perfect since I eliminated those plugs

*EDIT AGAIN*
Really quick photoshop, got rid of the lower side body lines. Whaddaya think?

I've been thinking about smoothing it out like that for a while, and now that I've photoshopped it I really wanna do it! If I ever have the time and money to get it done I'll shave the door handles at the same time I think

Yesterday it was over 60 degrees until the storm moved in, then it snowed close to 3" since last night, so I might be throwin' the snow tires back on so I can get to work in the morning
