Man, I really like seeing this... you took a car that wasn't destroyed, but just hadn't been cared for correctly, and you're doing all the things to bring it back to a nice condition.
I'm really impressed. Nice work.

just wanted to post pics up of my beautiful wife. she's the one who helped make it all happen. she's always asking me if she can help when im doing something on the cars. she doesnt care if its crazy hot outside and if she is sweating like a ***** in church. i never hear her complain.
she has helped detail the interior, pick out all the rocks in the coolers and straighten out all the fins, she scrubbed my fender liners and undertray's, she helps me install parts and everytime i wash the car she is there helping out.
she is my best friend and i love every moment with her. even when we are working out together down to her just sitting next to me playing final fantasy 12. ( i help her beat the hard bosses)
anyways this is her.
our first date
her graduation from unlv
just us at our favorite sushi place in the world yamasushi!

finally!! after driving around to all these places like homedepot, lowes, walmart, etc... to try and get them to cut my new 05 switch blade key with no luck.
today i went to a little post office place who cuts keys by hand and had it cut. they only charged $.60 but i tipped the little girl $3.
at first she was not wanting to do it also because it has a chip but i told her that as long as it is mechanically the same cut i can program it to work on my car. so she did it.
it is sooo much nicer to hold and keep in the pants pocket.

Job well done!
Hard to imagine how you and your wife managed to turn that 8 from a ZERO-----> to a HERO.
By the way, I can relate to your appreciation for your wife. My lady is actually the complete opposite when it comes to my hobbies and interests, but she always backs me up and supports me when I need her most during the trials and tribulations of my life.
Enjoy your 8 to the fullest, and I wish you and your spouse the very best future together.
