back and better than ever... sort of

hello to all of my faithful readers, if i have any left. sorry that it's been so long but crazy work hours, sickness and a general laziness have gotten in the way of me finishing up the bug.

however, i do have some updates. i just completed an order for two new rims that should fix my clearance issues on the front wheels. the rims i got come from Chirco Performance and are your standard, white spoke wheels. i got 15x6 rims which are the same size as the ones i have now. so i'm assured that my tires will swap right over. i'm going for a very interesting look... white rims on the front with black/chrome rims on the rear. maybe one of these days i'll sand down the new rims and paint them flat black so they match somewhat. but at this point i just want my car back and i don't really care how it looks. not like it's beautiful anyway.

i'm hoping that i'll find some time this weekend to actual fire up the beast and see if she'll run on her own power. that way i'll have some time to fix any engine issues before the rims get here.

i'm hopeful that i'll have the bug on the road before november and just in time for the cold weather. good thing that my heater boxes work well!
