    Early birds! [​IMG] I'll soon be on my way into office #2, where they sometimes have scrapple for the breakfast crowd. :dancingbacon: (Just letting you know I am not a total [​IMG] to emoticons.)

    Wiper switch was easy, once I found out where the screws were that held the shroud together. It didn't hurt having one in my hand to figure out where the retaining clip was either.

    I'm really jealous of you guys and your project/race cars. I need to build a garage first. I have a 2005 STi that I put 100K miles on, and I want to convert it into a track day / hillclimb car.

    which track mike? going to be fun for sure. coming down from the post 1st race high might take a long time, Watkins and lime rock I have not been to since the early 70's when I stopped running formula v Volkswagens

    TIRES??? how about times 2 cars, doubt those nice sticky/costly bfg's for the cobra will last long either, as my street already shows 2 very long black steaks running down it, the vet I don't really care if it stays numbers or retro rod. retro simply as mike knows means more fun with the go pedal.

    That is a nice shop Charlie. Pics are not shabby at all either. How is the floor coating holding up? I want to do a garage make over in the next 2 years and really need to do something with the floors.

    not the shop. that is the garage. hot water radiant heat in the floors helps in the winter. 2 stage epoxy is holding up super good. has not yet chipped from dropped tools and parts,

    moqqse. that motor better be good eye candy for what it cost!! any guesses?
