did anyone get something for thier car for christmas?



I dont mean someone buying you something for the car, I mean

you getting something for the car?



I expanded the garage 20" over ther weekend, and finally, after being outside

for 15 years, my vert is resting inside its own garage.

I swear it was smiling at me when I did it. Its pouring out right now

and I know the car is happy to be inside and not outside

in the rain or under a cover. It was getting very jealous of the lawn

mower, compressor and snow blower being in there and it being outside.



Merry Christmas!

I got the large professional series craftsman tool chest that I posted awhile back (early gift), but I don't think I'm getting anything else car-related.

NO body has bought me stuff for the car yet... My poppa is giving me a 13b and tranny for my b-day in February They are from an 86 at a junkyard so that will be another rebuild project or two.



For now I bought some serious **** for my seven



Phase 1 Brakes and daily wheels and tires:



Stainless Steel DOT brake lines

Front (4 piston) and rear (1 piston) caliper rebuild kits

Cross drilled and slotted Brembo rotors

Speed bleeders

New (not really) wheels and tires

And I will order my Hawk pads today prolly



I plan on doing a write up with plenty O' pics for the brake rebuild. Cause brakes are a neglected and often over looked area. That and new calipers are $$$ pricey. Rebuild kits are only 30 bones... Yeah I am a cheapskate.
