My Katrina restoration project

[tlo86]

its auto, needs to get built auto or swap to 5spd when I get the funds. How's your swap coming?

slow but steady. had some *financial* trouble with driftmotion today so its going to come to a screetching halt for about a week but hopefully it clears up.

your car looks good even with the damage, i would definitally do what you are doing thats for sure i would never give up!

thinking about going with a saturn sky shift knob as i dont really have a shift knob and i liked theirs, and it 8should* feel right at home as they are practically the same transmissions :biglaugh:

Lol its half and half whichever is cheaper

 

[Poodles]

TRD is a direct fit, is weighted (helps with shifting) and is real leather...

I'm gonna have to get some saddle soap for my wheelskins...

im very curious as to what your story was with katrina? where was your car etc? i lived in texas at the time and a few people from louisiana stayed with me and they got free rent for like a year around where i lived. hard to move at such short notice.

Too long for this. I pm'ed you.

I will say that I am gratefull for all the help/support of everyone. In alb. my bro's wife's friend is a doctor and a clothes horse to say. well he gave me like 20 pair of slacks, 4 pairs of shoes, belts shirts. Very nice clothes. I was also very fortunate in that I had SAVED up for a rainy day.

Good lesson here. Alway's have some extra cash for emergency.

[Rajunz]

Looking awesome once again George. That car was perfect before the storm guys, here are some pictures that I took of it years ago in Houston for TX2K5! Hope to see it again at TX2K8.

 

[Rajunz]

I hate red supras, but I love yours................:love:

Actually I love red supras, but the owners I can do without, and they know who they are...........:evil2:

See that crap right there is why I hate this place so much!:cry:

 

[dok33]

I love the 2j with sawblades, I'm all about the sleeper look

Nice work on the car, I really liked your burgundy car your brought to the Austin cruise earlier this year as well!

 

[OfnaRcR4]

I love this car.

 

[Poodles]

anyone else notice it doesn't even have the holes drilled for the front license plate?

damn it's clean...

 

[jugodegolf]

Lance - thanks for the props and pics. Who's that guy on the trailer in the stripe shirt. Lol.

dok33 - sleeper all the way!!! sawblades...I guess if you have something long enough get attached to them.:sarcasm:

OfnaRcR4 - mucho gracias amigo!!! Me too!:love:

Poodles - Original bumper got hungry and ate a semi's tire for lunch.:icon_evil

Well hopefully will have it completed soon!! Waiting on some interior parts. A/c should be working as of today. I'm impressed with how many great builds we have on the forum. It's nice to see so many well kept mk3's out there.

 

[jugodegolf]

Lance,

Do you still have most of tk2 pics. If so I'd like to have them. Mine went bye bye.

 

[jugodegolf]

Ahh! A/C is working now. No ac and Gulf Coast not a good combo.:3d_frown:

Swapped the mk3 for mk4 wheels. List is getting smaller.:icon_bigg

Any input on coilovers/springs? Would like to keep the soft supra ride till I get to track and then change settings.

 

[Poodles]

I like my stock springs, swaybars are the only really needed accessory to the suspension as the stock ones are weak...

I want to lower my car, but the area I live in now has railroad tracks that almost bottom out my car now...
