no ls1 swap. and i’ll be keeping it from the spring/summer of next year, but depending on certain factors, it may be getting sold after that. I haven’t really made up my mind yet. ---

Lol just drove by around noon on my way to work, and i’m curious. You can only drive one car at a time, so why was it necessary to have both sitting in the driveway with the tops down? ---

Ok, so finally got it out of storage today. And since it was 60 degrees and sunny out, i decided to put the interior back in (or start to at least). Freshly painted interior: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior001Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior001Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior002Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior002Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior004Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior004Medium.jpg) I removed the kick panel cushion. This make a ton more room for tall people like me, and it made a huge difference. ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior003Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior003Medium.jpg) Before: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/delivery_day008Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/delivery_day008Medium.jpg) (you can see the kick panel cushion here) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/delivery_day007Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/delivery_day007Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/slk230_after_paint016Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/slk230_after_paint016Medium.jpg) All back in: ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior005Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior005Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior007Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior007Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior008Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior008Medium.jpg) ![http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior009Medium.jpg](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/griffiscool/slk230/PaintedInterior009Medium.jpg) Tomorrow is getting the new seats in, new head liner, fixing the glove box, replacing the brakes, and changing the oil. ---
