Yeah I'm just lacking the better power and insulation, I only have 220v 30amp service but I'm going to pull through 60amp, and one day I hope to insulate it but its not high on my priority list. My wood stove heats it up just fine for working in the winter.

I coulda used some plastic curtains last night... I had to cover the car because of painting my headers.

Dropped it off at the shop to have the battery draw looked at as well as the struts replaced! Once I get her back I'll be installing the rear shocks and the Addco bar again. Nice.

Found out that my power steering pump makes grinding noises (?)

Anyone know can I mount 3400 pump on 3.1? Since I have one here.

I drove my car today. October was the last time it was out. It's nice to get back in touch with all that's wrong.

Its so nice to be driving the Z once more. Yep, drove it today instead of the base. HA.

Tomorrow is the last day I drive the base before it goes under the knife.

I drove the Beretta back from the shop. Front struts, check. New control arms, check.

GIANT dent in the rear quarter panel? Sigh, check. Pics to come.

They did not leave it that way. It was not their fault. Story to be explained in the upcoming post.
I can't post pics from work so I have to remember to post up at home. Let's just say, I'm not pleased.
