Is that how they roll in Romania? Zip-tie their shocks to the LCAs. Remind me never to buy anything from a Romanian... Heck, after looking at those springs I took out, maybe I already did.

Ah, nice!

Okay so here's what I've got so far.

- New Distributor is installed.
- Skunk2 Pro Coilovers should be here today.
- Blox lower control arms are on order.
- Front and rear Camber kit is on order.
- I'm picking up the new bumper cover Saturday.
- Clear corner housings have been ordered.

The Sol is slowly coming together.

Erm.. How small do they look? It's a basic honda shock, probably about foot and a half/two foot long or so. Atleast they look more straight then my stock suspension did.

I have a few sets of spanner wrenches for coilovers laying around my house.

Maybe it's just because they I'm used to dealing with parts for a bigger car. It figures that a small car would need small parts.

I thought the only thing in Texas was steers and queers. I guess they have to protect the Gay Minority somehow.

Actually Texas laws were put to the test a year or so ago. Apparently police somehow arrested two gay guys living together and charged them with sodomy. They took it to the TX supreme court and got the law struck down. Now man-on-man action is legal in the lone star state (apparently).

A side note Jeremy...you might consider moving to Texas.

Not sure yet. I didn't put the wheels back on and set it on the ground yet. I have other things I need to get done before I do that. I'll post some pics once I get to that point.

Repair has begun.. We got the trunk lid holes from the wing welded in and smoothed over, got the new rear bumper beam support installed last night, started rust repair around the rear fender wells, and still trying to get that damn clear coat crap off of it! I really can't wait until this thing is done. lol

Updated pics will be coming soon.

This is the color of the paint I bought for the Del Sol. I love it. I thought it was going to be more flat, but I will probably like this better..

If you are sending USPS it has to go to the PO Box, UPS/Fedex/etc just the address is fine. I just include all the info depending on how you are sending it.

It was dark last night, so the pics aren't that great. I'll get better ones later.
