Oh, and while i was outside taking pics, i hear this loud as crash, run to see, and a chick in a brand new blue corvette smashed into a red 92-95 style civic couple parked on teh side of the road in front of a house. Corvette barely drove away, tried to snap a pic while she was driving away, but no good... Dumb bitch...


Thats about it for now, garage is never that messy, but im working on it, and the pipes are being welded by one of the best welders you will ever see. Crazy nice welds, will have pics this next tuesday when he comes back.

And if you dont know, the ihi is only temp until i get a job and upgrade to a t3, and bmc race style mani, need another job though, graduation money aint gonna cut it, lol....

Nice writeup man! Keep up the good work :P

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

Damn, i just spent 30 minutes resizing and uploading those pics, sheesh...

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

Thats a hot little garage your working with compared to my patio. hahaha

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

I wish I had a garage that size all to myself, I'm not even allowed to park in the driveway, I have my LS block sitting in one corner of the garage and a bunch of ---- we never use takes up the rest of the space.

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

yeah, i guess im pretty lucky, i need to clean it up though, but other than that, the p's dont bother me about the mess. Im moving out this summer, but i can still come back to work on the rex. Well have a lift in there one of these days, small one, but a lifts a lift...

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

so you got the hot garage :D
i miss my garage :'(

what kind of radiator is that?

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

how high's the ceiling in there?

Re:My status, plus more, ~*PICS*~ (56k choke on a stick!)
 

Oh its a stock rad, just new, lol, bought i cause i thought mine was fugged up, but it was fine, but i like the new rad better.


about teh ceiling hieght, its taller than most, but not tall enough for a full lift, thats why were jsut gonna get one of those portable ones that will lif tthe car about 5 or 6 feet, the roofs about 10 ft i think, not to sure, could be taller, i thinkit is. But we also have the garage door track there too, so that limits the height, but its portable, so we can always use it outside...

Damn I don't even think my house is as big as your garage lol. Hope to see the rex running soon. 8)
