Glorious day!

I need to keep losing pounds. Nice job James! Very cool and comfortable in a "I can't move laterally" kind of way. I know you'll put them to good use.

Which wheels/tires are you planning to use next week?

There are parts for each of the three TI's. Logged 430+ miles overall, about a third with my dog as the navigator. Made a couple new friends.

Also made a Harbor Freight tools run as I forgot stuff on my two day trek. I only lost a few tools.

Sleep for a few hours now, then get to installing.... Thanks to all the cool folks who parted with their parts.

Nice day today... with my devil child. Fixed the Driver's Vader seat. Got a proper driver's side wiper arm - Thank you Rich! And even got to replace the grills with nicer units! Yay!

I also got to test James' new seats and realize I need to call Jenny Craig tomorrow and Dr. Dorfman for some torso extending - according to Rich ... LOL!

Btw.... coulda sworn the White bumper was also for "Michael" and James' race illegal rear lights... hmmm.

Oh..... already realized I made an idiotic mistake today. I replaced the passenger side door on my car and sent the old door to recycler. Forgot to remove the door handle and lock! Thank goodness it wasn't the drivers door.

I'm right there with ya on getting lighter in the seat. Those are nice seat tho,,, Didja mean the white sport bumper on Serene's TI? No getting that one back from her clutches now...

Just focus on a light, powerful motor just now. you don need da bumper or de lights man...

Just be nice to Anuket. Remember, you named her! You know my suggested name...

Did they crush it yet? Go look see and maybe you'll be lucky!

Parts run yesterday and parts installation today.

Cool day yesterday disassembling David's crushed TI. Great family and very hospitable. Great day overall despite someone lifting my license plate overnight.

Today, I basically started to turn my wife's white Active into a white Sport this afternoon. F/R MTech bumpers, M3 Mirrors, Sport Mtech suspension off the 97, an OEM TI armrest and an undented drivers door and hood. Aside from the Vaders and the 5 speed, Michael and Serene's cars will be very alike.

I need brake ducts for the MTech bumper. Now that the interior and exterior is basically settled, I can do the total hose and plastic renewal for the M42. Then start working on the Cali. Wife's car first. Happy wife, you know the rest....

Look forward to seeing the car soon. I did not do anything with the Ti, time was spent on the ACS-5 today.

Too good a deal to pass up for clean, staggered 68's.

Ah, great reminder before I do the very same thing as I replaced Serene's driver's door... Thanks Michael!
