So I was driving on the freeway when I noticed a sound coming from the turbo... I have a rear mount turbo. so I pull over and I noticed my wastegate bolts came loose and fell somewhere on the highway and the wastegate came off. So I had to drive maybe a mile to a hardware store to get new bolts.

Thought about putting insurance back on her, but I'll hold off another week. She's a snoozing under the car cover in the garage.
Got my UMI Solid Aluminum Motor Mounts this week. Had a lot of parts build up over the winter months. UMI Tubular K-member, tubular lower/upper A-arms, new hardware for the A-arms, bought a Farmer shift boot ring and a SJM Line Lock all awaiting install. Waiting patiently for my MWC 9" to arrive also.

Woke the bird up after lord knows how long after some punk *** slashed two of my tires. I went out, bought some used tires which made me sick to my stomach but at least the car's rolling again. With a little patience I'll have enough saved to get my Speedlines and all-new tires mounted...

Within the past 2 weeks on my '98 T/A, I installed new BBK LTs and ORY, MBA shift **** adapter and Hurst T-Handle, Pioneer Premier head unit so I can actually listen to CDs (the stock Monsoon had a mind of it's own... also found that the previous owner had replaced all the stock speakers with Kickers), and replaced the rear filler panel 'bird and T/A script. When it stops raining around here I can finally wash and detail it for the start of summer lol.

Sold my Ram Air hood yesterday to pay for the WSQ from VFN, now i have this... Had to cut out the backbone and air box lip of it so it would clear the taller WS6 box...
Also finally finished my new interior after working on it for over a month.. not a lot of time...
Now it needs a good detailing...
