Happy St. Patty's day to you all!
This weekend was a very busy one for me. I had to work on Saturday ( well.. HAD TO is inaccurate... I chose to...) and then traveled to a friend's place to wrok on his drag racer. I nice 1981 Camaro that he's had for as long as I can remember. This time around, we put the freshened motor back in it's place with all the accesories as well. He had most of the WORK already in place... I was basically an extra pair of hands for him and I got to learn more about everything there. Spent about 6 hrs that day working and felt good to get dirty, greasy, and bloody.. wouldn't be a night working on a car if one of us didn't walk away with a new wound.
We later went out after a parts run and got some MUCH needed food, and some "needed" beverages. Watched the Pitt vs. Georgetwon Big East championship game... Go Panthers!
Sunday, it was MY car's turn to get worked on. My car has ALOT of miles on it and some parts are starting to wear, and also I wanted to upgrade them for the upcoming season. I helped my friend and co-competitor Justin install new Adjustable shocks on the SS ( Konis-yellow ) and it was quite an adventure. The car fought us a bit and Justin wasn't used to the GM way of doing things as he's normally wrenching on Subarus, but it all worked out and made for a fun day. I learned more about how things work and got more grease and dirt in me ...
UPDATE: Here's the pics...

Today was a beautiful day here weather wise, and I got to drive home with the moonroof back. Felt good to know spring is not far away... I even left work early today... only putting 8 hrs in. That's a short day for me...
Got alot done tonight... Got my bills all wrote out... got my Autocrossing stuff organized for the upcoming test and tune event I'm running this year... that's a whole other story...
BUT... after all this... It's going to be a long quiet week.... the reasons are many...
