[skeeters_keeper]

Don't worry guys, i'm working on getting my submission for FOTM ready

Thanks for all the compliments! they make the hours worth of work all that much more worth it

spent the day today hunting and installed my BJs + Energy Susp sway bar bushings... man were my BJ's SHOT!! very glad i decided to do them. Pics will be up sometime soon, for now i'm gna finish up my fotm submission since you all won't get off my back about it, and then try to sleep a little before work in the AM!


John - do you still want the B3 for your white car? I haven't quite decided what to do with it yet, I like having a backup in case i blow something up and was considering re-building it for that purpose, but I could be convinced to part with it!

great work man! ive got some catching up to do

[seniorsteele]

looks nice. way to go on doing all of that on your own. its soo satifying when you can work on all of your own stuff. the high temp paint looks good.

know people that use that stuff and use small ovens. good for pistons too. 8)

Nate , That is truly awesome , great write up so far and looking forward to more .

Everything you have done looks AWESOME !!

I have got to give it to you , I don't know any others your age that have done what you have done , on your own .

Most kids today would not have a clue , and you do give inspiration to others .

AND you do crack me up with those pics , BUT .. the one at 1 am with your head lights on ,when you first posted pics of your work are still a classic and my fav.

Kudos Nate!!!! Nice write-up and pics. Definitely agree that you should submit for FOTM.

It's really cool that you take the time to document and write up all of these improvements. And you have sold me on the roller painting. Gonna do that in the spring. Sucks not having a garage to work in.
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

BTW, your Mom doesn't check out FF.COM does she? Don't really want her finding out about the stove and the sink. :violent2:

Nice job Nate, and nice write up Glad to see my old B6 (or at least parts of it) got a good new home in skeeter's engine bay. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner, I was gone from the site for a over a month busy with a lot of different things and when I came back I clicked "new posts" and there was a couple hundred threads so I just didn't get caught up. Can't wait to see skeeter again sometime and I bet it sounds wicked with the B6 blowing through that exhaust you had on there when I met you. I assume you still have the same exhaust setup?

[skeeters_keeper]

I was wondering when you would pitch in!
I have basically the same exhaust setup, with the exception of the DP i fabbed (which is leaking again, i'm not a very good welder apparently! lol) So yes it sounds about the same, a little louder than i would really want, but thats ok! When i finish my 2 1/8" exhaust i'm hoping it will sound a little "deeper" and quieter at lower RPM's.

the B6 is a blast to drive, and i had a ton of fun re-building and installing it, now i need to find a BP!

[geezerstiva]

great job man! i think i'm about your age, and the most i've done is spark plugs, oil changes and a sub! you've inspired me to go further... :lol:

[KingFish]

I way behind the tide here but great job man. Congrads on getting F.O.T.M. Just wish i was that motivated at your age.

[Festiva_tunner]

I give yopu props - such ambition and a eye for the small details - end result just fantastic.

when skeeter goes up for fotm, dont bother putting your car up because its going down

[joebreck117]
