Took Jane for her first 'rally' today. One of my good friends that I don't see often, lives up in the mountains near Mt. Spokane. About a 25 mile drive from where I live in Spokane. Great (legal) driving roads. Ending with a mile run up a private windy dirt road. Not to mention today was possibly the nicest day of the year so far, here in the 509.
He's the man that will be helping me with my bodywork in the future. He also helped do most of my tint removal. We were comparing projects as he was working on his when I showed up. While looking at mine, he asked if I wanted to fix my fender. I responded 'ya, when it's time'. He then asked if I wanted to do it now. Being so fresh and so clean, and wearing clothes I had no intention of working on my car in, I jokingly said 'if you want to do it, because I'm not breaking a sweat'.
"Fuck I'll do it then..."
I drank his beer...
Ate his steak...
and he fixed the dent in my fender...
Installed my passenger mirror today (thanks Brian!!). Thrilled that I didn't have to take off the door panel to do so. Also freshened up my bumper lenses with some of the spray I used to do my corners. Probably spray the corners again this weekend to get them a bit darker. Changed my corner bulbs as both sides were out.
Nothing really worthy of pics. Hopefully have something cool going on within the month...
Went out to another buddy's property today in Colbert, WA for some beers and frisbee. He has this cool old barn where they keep their hay. A lot of cool spots to take pictures. Especially after I get some bigger shoes and a bit more ground clearance. Should have took a real camera, but I didn't think about it.
Bought some of this stuff to try and help with my smoking (and a 20/50 oil change). Two days or 100 miles it says you should notice a difference. 40 miles clocked today, and still puffin tuff. Went on a spending spree this week, so I'm trying to make my motor last a bit longer than I originally planned.
Makin some progress with Jane. I'm horrible at keeping secrets, so here's a sneak peek, part 1 of the makeover...
Hmmm... I think that would look better on my car, too...
nice rims!!! and rack- that is crazy i never knew they made a tower that went into
the OEM rack...
Old school Thule I got a good deal off of CL. Came with two board mounts and one bike mount. It clips kinda weird. But it handled me giving it a good thrashing. Came off an old Jeep Cherokee the guy said had a factory rack. I originally had them turned in, which looked a lot more awkward, and the faring didn't fit. So I turned them around and got the faring on. Which looks a million times better!
We're gonna need to take some proper photos, once I get the rest of my shit
ps- bars are wide, and I've hit my head twice already LOL

i see now what you did there with the rack... you can cut your bars down 6 inches or so,
just take the cap off the end and hack saw them shorter and put the cap back on...

Zip ties ftw!
Front plate laws are stupid. We haven't always had one.
Nice!
Yeah, I hate them too. Only got hassled once down here, front plate in between the dash and windshield on my old gsr.

awesome lol
Literally was done in less than 15 minutes with usual body tools. I told him he could make a fortune fixing these lol
It's not perfect. But pretty damn close!
cool friend.

looks soo much better now.
o and BTW kokanee is soo good.
I went back and punched Biff, then I ended up out there? lol
I live in the hood, sadly, at the moment. That's why on my days off I go see friends out of the city
Hopefully get out there some more this summer and do a proper shoot. Lots of cool places for those with ground clearance
haha this cracked me up.
And here we see the female of the species as it attempts to capture sustenance from its natural surroundings....
Especially if it's followed by the word- BEER. But free battery works good too lol
cant believe you got it free!

Nah, I think I learned my lesson...
I'm gonna mount a ton of shit this summer, so I'll keep the width until I draw blood lol

Big ups to ragenasian, absolute pleasure to do business with! And look forward to more transactions
