She won't let me drive!
 

We bought my wife's (Beth/yield2me) car a little over a year ago. The original plan was to buy a “completed” car that we could do some cruising in, attend a few local car shows and maybe do a couple road trips. The car came with a few “gremlins” that stopped much of that from happening last year. After sorting through most of them we did get her on the road again last fall for a few hundred miles of fun.

Our current plan is to do some upgrades this winter and be back on the road this spring. We plan on doing some autocross where Beth says "I'm gonna drive it like I stole it!"

The flakey rattle canned driver’s kick panel will be taken care of when I do the sound system.

Whoa. Now that's a pile of parts :D

Out with the old

Got some of the old parts that could be unbolted from the rear off the car this weekend. Gotta do some cutting and grinding to remove a couple crossmembers from the previous setup next.

The old 10 bolt, 4-link, and rotors.

A 1/2 mile gravel driveway makes it a biatch to keep the underside clean.

I'll have to re-route some fuel and brake lines as well.

Cool; it's great that you and our wife can share your interest in cars.

It's great that me and my hubby can share MY interest in cars!

well ok, but you still share the interest!

Looks like you like better her car than your cars...

Yes it is and now it's time to whittle away at it!

Yes it is great!

Yeah, her car is getting more love than mine right now. But mine needs a ton of work and we gotta keep one driveable. I just hope she remembers this when I start back on mine. :D
