Lapping Rocks!

Finally, Zhaan gets some love

Our big blue bitch finally got some love today. She got washed, clayed, sealed, and waxed. She looked so pretty, I had to get some shots — the first ever — with her fancy shoes. (more…)

Roll-bar Installation Going Well

Francis made-up for bailing on me last week by coming over and helping me with the installation of my Hard Dog Hard Core M2 Hardtop Double-Diagonal (dare ya to say that three times) roll-bar today. We managed to trim the parcel tray, remove the ABS wires, and place the bar into the car!

We stopped there however as I still need to pick up the mounting hardware from the bar’s previous owner — hopefully, we’ll get that done this week. In the meantime, I need to pick up a 3/4″ hole saw to reroute the ABS wiring, and make a new 1/4″ hole for the evap system vent. While at the store, I’ll also be picking up some rust inhibitor spray to protect the new holes that I’ll be punching into the MSM.

I hope to complete the work within a week or two at most.
