It's open this weekend December 4th, if you want to schedule the 11th tell me now so I don't plan anything. We might be able to get Chun to help. If your coming this Saturday (4th) be sure and text me so I can move my car to the other side of the garage.

Yea, we fit it up (bumper) and it seems to fit very nice. This Saturday we are going to mount it so that I can go for paint. The grills have been formed and are now at the powder-coater, Armin made some brackets for the fog lights and they are also at the powder-coater. The only thing I am lacking is one new eye lid, somehow one of mine cracked. I wanted to take it to the painter with the bumper. The bumper fit so well that I really did not need to take the car but then we saw a scratch on the hood. So now the car is going. When I get it back from the painter it will have to come off one more time so we can mount the grill work. God I hope that is the last time. Oh yea, also missing a fender liner that is on it's way to me........We did not fasten it correctly and it came off at the last Friday meet and was destroyed.

This dam car is getting close to completion.......I am expecting three very nice additions from BHR (soon I hope). Been thinking about an aluminum under cover in stead of the fiber one.

If anyone gets a copy of Modified mag there is a very nice article about BHR in it.

A new member might comeover and change his cluth pedal on Saturday. I'm still expecting to see Sara for the intake I offered her. Who knows, if it's a nice day I may see all of you.

Well if everything works out OK, Armin and I will be installing my front bumper mesh this Saturday. The car is in for paint, the mesh is being powder coated and both are scheduled to be done on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both jobs will be completed on time.

The garage will be open from 10am until 2pm so if any one wishes to come by, your welcome.

If anyone is not busy on Saturday, my mid pipe blew a gasket and I would like to get it changed out this weekend.

Armin and I will be installing the new grills in the new bumper and doing the final mount.........Paint is done on the bumper and I am picking it up at 3pm today.

Finally getting it done.......at least this phase

I would get a new plug, if they would be fine without half the insulation then they would be making them that way in the first place. It might work just fine but I wouldn't wanna test it.

Go to the Autoparts store and buy one of these.
Insert into brake caliper piston and turn clockwise With a ratchet to screw the piston back into the caliper. You must push the piston inward to screw it back in. Requires a bit of pressure.
