Dropped my valve body yesterday, much happier finally getting it out. Got it over to a guy from work to install my shift kit, he's been a transmission guy for years. Got my trans pan sandblasted and primed, will be ready for paint later today. Got my supplies to wire in switches for e fans. If weather cooperates I'll be playing electrician today.

Ah alright. Yeah that ink has been looking good.
I've been doing alright. Still pretty far from done on the Nova. Haven't had the finances to get a ton done on it. Maybe if I take the job at my dads shop I might start to get more done to it

Got any pictures of it? You probably posted one, I just missed it.

Yeah the owners of the shop really want me there so it's a good possibility that I will end up there. That should help out a lot.
I have most of the ignition parts, minus coil wires and plugs. As for fuel I still need a pump injectors, and lines. But the big part, the ECU, I have thankfully. Maybe putting the engine in soon

Come to ND where stock tint is too much, tint laws here are terrible. This state sucks for aftermarket vehicles, if you're bored look up the lift laws for the state. Also I never got around to working on my truck but painting the pan. I gotta call trans go tomorrow and see if my shift kit makes my trans a manual shift auto or not, the guy installing my shift kit was wondering if that made it manual shift or not. He never really dealt with -2 kits, just -1

Left my house earlier and saw a fire truck and a police car blocking off the road at the spot my accident was. Another guy with a silver second gen hit a car in the exact same spot mine was. Both cars were for sure totaled damage was way worse than it was in mine. Hope everyone was okay.
On another note, ordering the pods today, gonna try to figure out a way to mount them. Want to avoid cutting into the bumper if possible but will probably have to

Pretty sure FL is the most lenient. Zero ***** given.
