Its a shitty day, but it was enough to motivate me to install my lightweight battery (only 14 pounds) and the new stereo, as well as snap some shots of my wheels.

The car is quite different than it was back in July! –mark ---

I really admire the work you’ve done to this car, considering it was previously such a piece of shit. It’s been totally rejuvenated under your ownership. Great job. edit: I don’t know what your racing intentions are with this car, but I know a guy selling a set of custom valved ZZYZXs at a considerable discount- if you are interested. ---
