"I had to turn on the a/c last night". I think I dislike youIm in the process of selling off all the parts I don't need today. buying parts is on hold for this car. The '99 needs some new tires and an A/C compressor. For all you northerners, I had to turn on the A/C in my house last night!
damn good feeling isnt it?I have made most of my money back parting it out, so it's pretty much a free body/roll cage now. Free is good.
Did some cutting today finally. Ill post pics when I get more done
Sharad - any plans for a UPR LS-swap K member?

Mustang92 beat me to the punch. We already have an LS-swap k-member kit which is a direct bolt in. Let me know when you need it and I'll set you up with a discount!
Well I got all the cutting done today that I've been meaning to do:
Tire size shouldn't be an issue anymore, lol. I was gonna order some tubs, but will have to wait. More on that later...
Also, this car has been wrecked and there is some damage in the front end:
The driver side looks similar. I've seen a couple other cars with everything in front of the strut towers removed and replaced with tubing (racecars, obviously) and am thinking I'll follow the same route, hence my thread about the spot weld driller.
I got a call from the office today, which is a double edged sword. I just got back from a 6 week hitch and they want me to leave Friday for another 3-4 weeks. That means Ill miss 1) my little brothers graduation from Texas Tech 2) Xmas 3) New years. But on the other hand, Ill be making more money and can start buying parts for this thing (maybe).
So that'll do it for updates for the next month or so. But since it's gonna be a turbo car, its destined to sit on jackstands for several years anyway, right???
Sounds good. Im headed offshore for a month and will order when I return. Thanks!
Well, I was cruising the net and found that Wolfe Racecraft is having a 20% off sale, so I ordered some tubs and a rear coil over shock kit that allows me to mount the shocks inboard of the frame rails. They're gonna beat me home though, still offshore for another couple of weeks.
However, since we were at the dock over Christmas,
Scored $325 in lowes giftcards, so I'm going to buy a MIG when I get home and start the fabrication. There's probably a good week's worth of welding and fab to do as it sits now. Hoping to be home mid-month assuming work doesn't hit any more snags...I got to run home for 2 days and see the GF and family.
Going to finish the entire rear end before I move forward with the engine and stuff. Still need axles, spool, gears, and coilovers. Smells like my tax return is already spent, haha.

I got a tracking number the same day, so however long it takes, it is in UPS's handsI ordered a complete rear suspension kit from Wolf Racecraft including a parachute mount for my Saleen on Dec.10th................still have not received the parts, I am hoping that it is because of the holidays and such, but I hope to see the stuff soon. I am not to worried at this point as the car is still at the chassis shop getting a Chrome Moly cage installed and it wont be done for a least 2 more weeks. Still it will be interesting to see how long you have to wait for parts.
