Well depending on what this weather does tonight, I might not make it Friday night either haha. And depending on if I get my new pressure sensor for the water injection. I figured it would be here by now.

Had to pick up a new cluster. Some guy in MN had a white-faced cluster for cheap so I scooped it up.

Also did the 99 taillight mod. How they look stock...

After some paint...

Just bought a lift for the garage. Pretty stoked about that...Hope to have it in the garage and setup by next weekend. Just need to borrow/rent a truck

What lift did you get for your garage? I am looking into the MaxLift portable system, it has lower posts for garages. My garage has tall ceilings, however, about 13ft.

Those tails look pretty good Frank! Most of the time painted ones don't look near as good as the 99 spec but those are damn close if not spot on.

Sorry I didn't call you back last night. After the guy left we had dinner and then it was about time for bed. I'm good pretty much any night this week to move that lift. One of Kellen's friends is coming over some night this week to have dinner, I think Friday, so maybe any other night but then. All I'm doing is sorting through a bunch of my crap and putting stuff away. We have one more load to get from my storage unit and after I get that put away we'll be finished and all moved in. So whenever is good for you...

I picked up a Direct Lift 4 Post Lift from a local limo shop here. I believe the posts are around 8 ft high. It has a 7K lb capacity which is more than enough for the seven. The 4 post lifts are great for winter storage also. I'll be able to drive the seven on there and drive another car underneath. I got it for 500 less than a new one and saved the shipping/freight cost.

Thanks! These tails had a raised impression of the cirlces already on them so it made taping it off pretty easy.

All good. I'm still trying to get ahold of the shop to arrange a good time to take it apart.

I'm about to change out all the bushings on the car. Going back and forth between Powerflex and Superflow. Any opinions?

Also watching reviews on these pillow ball bushes from Atomic Rex. This is the full thread...
