took care of a few things today since i had a few hours to spare.

I dont know if this is like this on all EFs but i took care of it.

pulled off the speaker shelf, drilled a hole, and fed the wire up through the panel and out of the slot that the seatbelt is fed through.

Here is the "final" result. I put that in quotes cuz the car is still a mess and needs a MAJOR interior make over.

I cleaned up the ass of the car a little...wait, is that a rear bumper i see?

Yea, it is. Got that rear bumper thrown on there while i was at it. a little bit of rust on the support, but thats ok. Itll need to come off when i get the body work taken care of. which needs to be done asap.

As mentioned before, i need to replace the rad support, scott is hooking me up with a new one for 60 bucks. once thats taken car of, next on the list is getting those panels welded, then the MPFI swap. Dont worry honduh, ill remember that you have those parts.

Just my luck,

I wait 10 days for my headlights to FINALLY come and what do you know, smashed. On top of that, the other headlight's adjustment screw is bent about 30 degrees or so. sooo close to pushing this car off a cliff.

how much you selling your ps3 for ?? lol

Erik · 11-30-2008, 09:45 PM

todd, i was at the junkyard last time, and the EF there also had smashed headlights lol i was like WTF!

as for the PS3, i had it up for sale for a few days at 350, and got nothing, so i put it up on ebay for 375 hoping for some hits. If it doesnt sell, itll be back up on here at 320.
