HAHA, it's now in more pieces than it was a month ago. I get about 6 minutes a night to work on it when the dog goes outside before bed. :mad::rolleyes:

How do you take a car apart that you never drive when it's together? :confused: Hopefully, you have it back together for the Midwest meet. I already know you won't show up.

Well put headers, turbo, downpipe, FMIC, etc etc on it, basically all bolt on stuff. I did have the lower intake off, sandblasted the intake, solid vac lines, brackets, etc (EVERYTHING) and painted them. Get it all back together minus exhaust and put maybe 25-30 miles on it getting used to the car as I've never actually driven it since I bought it.
Been sitting over the winter and I get a little coolant seeping out of one of the bolts on the front cover. :mad: Figure OK, I can deal with a tiny leak for a little while and put a new front cover gasket on.... wrong, put my pressure tester on the rad, 1 pump and its pissing out now. :mad:

So now I get to take a bunch of crap off to replace the front cover seal. :rolleyes:

LOL.
You know how it goes. Sometimes it's just easier...ugh! :redface:

And the fear of not finding a spot and having to drive around with the kids for an hour or park 3 blocks away. One of these days. If I knew you were going I would have forced myself. ;)

There were 2 others there. Who's were they? One on the main street, and the other in the grass lot to the north. Someone here I am sure.

The GN in the north grass lot was mine.I checked out the other gn on main street, didn't meet the owner.Someone passed through a couple times in a gn,figured it was one you young guys on here.Thought I'd see more Turbo cars.Maybe next time.
 
That was me passing through. I stopped by Rick's (TuboBuRick) house to talk about scheduling a day for us to put my AlkyControl kit on the car and he happened to mention the car show. That was my first trip through and that is a crazy/happening place. I did happen to see you parked on the grass and that is one clean ride. Nice vanity plates too! Anyway, I drove through and it was so crowded a was redirected back out the way I came in so I decided to leave. Now that I know about the show, I'll make it a point to get there earlier so I can find a nice GRASSY spot and visit with some other TR owners.
 
I do know several guys/and cars from here. And I did not recognize either car. I thought I would have seen a few more TR that night myself. I saw Rick driving through. I was in my other buick :rolleyes: and not the GN, that's why Rick was making fun of me.:tongue:
Too late getting out of work to get a spot within the show and I knew I would have had to park a couple blocks away, and that isn't acceptible. Had I known a few of you guys were going, I would have done a better job of getting out of work a bit early and took the GN.
Maybe next time.

I was there in mt T. Had to park almost 2 blks. down the street. The Corvettes took up half the spots.

You can say that again. It was corvette night, and do you think they would give up a spot to a GN/T?
After all, these did come factory with "I brake for corvettes" license plate frames..;)
