Well I did a little flexing today. My fiance & I meet my dad a couple towns over at a Home Depot he was delivering at (he is a truck driver and my parents are divorced). I drove the BII because he hasn't seen it, but has heard a lot about it (I got most of my car knowledge from him). We ate supper at a local restraunt and had a little fun while his truck was unloading. You can only imagine the looks I got in the front parking lot of Home Depot doing this You can also tell that if the wheel base wasn't so short, I could have gotten the front end up more. Hopefully I will have some full out flex pictures this weekend!

A lack of time is what is killing me. Mine needs a wee bit more work than yours, and well, I just don't have the time right now to work on it.

Time can be a bear. Hopefully I don't struggle for time to get the manual swap done and wiring figured out before I head to the Dunes.
