Well, finally decided on what color to paint the grey ghost. So over the labor day weekend I painted it. Even put new seat covers in it. I still have little stuff to do to outside, and I plan on re-doing inside with new carpet, etc, but its getting there.

Came out to go to work & found it covered in grass and pelted with crap from the vacant house where I park Would like access to properly vent in arena!
Drove Chuck to work this morning. He needs front brakes BAD (which I have, just not installed yet). Other than that pretty good ride. It wasn't cold enough to need heat but I did need defog and the heater is working well so I guess my backflushing of the core while I had the engine out was sufficient. Probably could use some ignition timing adjustment too but that'll be this weekend. At breakfast time I took him over to the car wash to the mighty vacuum machines to get five panes worth of glass out of the floorboards and back seats. Its not 100% out yet, but enough that I can get the rest with my shop vac. Then its pull the carpet, wash it a few times, strip the seat covers, wash those, and try to get out the chunk of glass that is blocking the drivers side lap belt buckle from working (just been clicking it into the passenger buckle for now). Lunch break I should be installing my stereo that has so far been slated to go into three different cars we've owned, all were sold before the install took place lol.
I'll get some new pics up soon, but here's one of my flock from last week (before I replaced Chuck's windshield).
Got my crossmember swapped out for the manual one. I also got the shifter linkage hooked up. Gonna grab something to eat and start on the interior I suppose.
Stood lookin at my motor & shook my head. Need to get the oil leak from the left side/Front & the Drivers side CV axle fixed. But not enough cash to do both at the same time. It sux not workin, SS & Navy retirements not enough to put out a lot of money all at once.
Gave a Honda grief on I-85. Every time he would get on it, it would smoke and miss!!
No I didn't push it too fast messing with him. Too many State troopers around!!
