Glad to hear that it's all sorted out!

 

Drove her to work for the first time since I finished the T56 swap. Cruising down the interstate at 75mph in 6th gear is only running at 1500rpm, haha. Go go A4 gear ratio!

 

Looked at her sitting on four jack stands in the garage, and prayed that my parts come in tomorrow.

 

Picked up a set of Bilsteins for her to help round out the pile of performance parts I have waiting to go on when the weather decides to warm up a bit. As of now, I have the winter blues.

 

Finally pulled the driver side molding off after my passenger side has been off for months. Also recently installed the MBA shift **** after busting my stock T handle.

 

Hit a trashcan on the way home tonight that destroyed one of my headlights. Completely shitty end to an already shitty week.

 

Ordered some new wheels so I can finally get rid of the lame nasty stock 16in alloy

 

I just picked up a 98 TA with 43,000 miles and I have to swap out the fuel pump, ordered a new racetronix 255, also a hotwire kit. BBK Longtubes just came in today. Ordering motor mounts.

 

Had to have been one serious trash can!

 

It was one of those large heavy duty ones like what cities give out. Looked kinda like this one.




It was very stout, didn't even have a scratch on it. The owner came out and at first was trying to say there was no way his can was in the road because he had just pulled into his driveway and it was standing upright at the edge of the road.

 

Well that's some bad luck, but looks like the damage is minimal could have been a lot worse. Damn A holes that leave their cans out drive me nuts

 

Replaced the headlight motor.

WAY bigger PITA than it was on my 88 Trans Am. Whoever decided to stick that bolt WAY in the back of the damn motor where you can't fit a 1/4in socket needs to get kicked in the ***** repeatedly.

And I lost one of the ends for my nut driver. When I replaced my Alternator last weekend, she kept the fastner for the rear braket, but gave it back a few days later. Hopefully I'll find that end laying on the ground outside one day.

 

Exactly, from the once over I gave it last night when I got home it just seemed to be the headlight assembly only. Slight scratching on the hood from where the assembly door went flying but the bumper looked ok. I managed to find a whole assembly on e-bay that is the same color of the car for a decent price and I am just hoping the paint on it isn't too raggedy when it arrives.

 

Installed the new sail panel today!

 

What was wrong with the old one?

 

Nice. I will probably be installing my CF one in the spring or summer.

I would guess it was having an issue with the bubbling paint that plagues the 98-02 cars, however I didn't really see any evidence of that in the pics.

 

Yep, it had the bubbling issue.



Now she's bubble free!

 

Why not get it repainted?

 

I like the cute blankie covering the quarter panel.

 

You can't.

lol, it was either that old sheet or I risk scratching the paint! My daughters weren't too happy though, haha!
