zoo... photography cancelled,..which wasn't a problem cause i figured I'd have plenty of time to work and finish the car. Well,..that changed when i realized i was missing a couple of gaskets, and -8 line... i couldn't find anything local,..so i made a choice to load the car up on the trailer and bring it back down south to florida to the shop that i work. much more local vendors ... much easier for me to work on it,...each day after work.

anyways,... not done yet.

i ,..we, brought the car down sunday, drooped it off at my dealership,..turned around, hauled *** back up north to watch the games... i took off work last week for today, monday...and i got back in town today at 4:30pm......been hanging out with my niece and nephew since then.

i did stop at rps and bought my turbo blankets, and the rest of my pushlock -8 for my return. I'll have the rest of the gaskets i need tomorrow,... and try and get this thing fully operational this week.
