LVR is on a distinguished road
so.... (peeks head up over parapet)... 'on topic'

It's an early finish today from work (gotta be an occasional perk to working for yourself) so organized a few more things and threw some more hard earned at the money pit....

Finally confirmed today the shocks and springs for the 4.8is suspension swap out are on the way... the guys at Eibach springs are very helpful. They ordered in the tech specs for the kit I've ordered so I could see the finished body height and understand the spring rates before I paid for it.

Should be able to get it up off its nose soon...



All the little bits I've ordered separately and are being picked up in Dallas today by my better half while she is there...

The 3M kit for the headlights arrived here today, along with a new seat belt buckle from a wrecker to replace the hall sensor in the existing one...

Booked a mobile dent puller today to come and out and remove 3 dents put in it by the previous owner... another $350...



I got the steering column bearing replacement figured out last weekend with help from wpoll and scott zhp... the existing bearing was toast.. but like always you DO need that special tool which you can only buy in another country...

A couple more days and my family is home along with lots of goodies arriving for the 4.8... I'm excited but my wallet has taken a pounding....
