Nothing too much new, unfortunately. Car is still has a hole in the bumper and the fender's all effed from the accident back in November.
I had the mechanical damage fixed, alignment and suspension wise. $1,300 in alignment/front end damage -- just the mechanical, not including body damage yet. I needed a new lower control arm because mine was bent, I needed a new sway bar because mine was cracked in half, I needed new inner and outer tierods on both sides, and then all the bushings and everything. But, one of the sponsors on my site that does real good work hooked me up and got like the top of the line bushings so they'll never go bad, and my swaybar is actually the SLP swaybar, so it's pretty beefy compared to the v6 sway bar that I had. Then he gave me an alignment to 98+ fbody specs, so my car handles pretty darn good now!
Body damage wise, I've already gotten the fender and the bumper replacement parts, and I bought new turn signals while I was at it. The worst part is paying for the paint job, which is where the delay is... just can't afford that kind of money all at once, I scrape by (barely) pay check to pay check.
I'm also re-doing the carPC. Hard drive crashed back in January when we had a warm spell and then dipped back into the 10's and 20's. I'm guessing the head froze to the platter, the carPC would turn on and WinXP splash screen would start to load, and then blue screen of death "Unmountable_Boot_Device." So, new hard drive later I was working on it and effed up the motherboard. Just ordered the new motherboard today, which actually was cheaper than the first one and has a twice as fast processor.
Got a new mod in the works, really just need the time to work on it. I have 3 yards of carbon fiber, and a rear taillight panel. Anyone want to take some guesses?
Aside from that, same ol' stuff. Busy with the website, school, work, and my girlfriend. MiFbody was getting too big for HostGator and they forced me right out. I bought a dedicated server from Dediwebhost.com for $95 a month, decent price and atleast now I don't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon.
How many of y'all comin to Superfest this year?
