I was up til like 2am last night and had to work 7am to 8pm today doing all my appointments and my full timers so he could have the day off for some personal reasons.

So when I got home early 6:30pm after finishing all the appointments I didn't really want to work on the car. But i figured I would put the intake on and then get some sleep

this happened instead


Even tho you barely see them








: cool story HUH

Time for alot of Pain meds ( prescribed ) and SLEEP so I can go work another 10 hour shift to pay for more parts LOL
