Buh. :/

I guess I will buy ramps and install it quick and dirty like before I leave for the trip.

Borrowed a friends garage, jack, ramps, and stands for the oil change this morning.

I won't have time to install it before the end of the week, so, hopefully I don't run over anything during my drive from Austin to Memphis Thursday night. :/

Is it really -necessary- to have on the car?

yes, for bumper rigidity. put the stock one back on before your trip.

On my first out-of-town trip after buying my Z, a dead armadillo suddenly appeared in the middle of my lane about 50 miles south of Memphis. The only alternative I had was to swerve onto a very rough and uneven shoulder. I declined. I was more than glad that undercover was on there as the armadillo attacked!

we have skunks and racoons and deer and taffyapples. not armadillo's. lol

this ring was metal, and squashed on there with 90 ftlbs of twist, I used the dremel to cut it off

Yet another morgan post. On hour 38 or so. Engine bay fully sanded down, then cleaned with lacquer thinner. Now has a few coats of rust encapsulator. Next step is a little welding, then primer + Eastwood Chassis black.

I was starting to wonder where it was as I placed my order two weeks ago and never received a status update. I was thrilled today when I saw a long skinny box at my front door.

Prepping for a little cruise to Niagara tomorrow... standard wash/dry/shine the wheels and clean up the inside (all 3 specs of dust that have landed on my dash)

Then probably wash it again or do a QD on the front dependent on how attractive my bumper is them crazy bug.

qd'ed finger grease from a dumbarse f-king neighbor down the street's hand who invited himself over and touched my mine's lip for no reason. :mad:

My mom and dad taught me to NEVER touch that which does not belong to me.

yah, apparently this dumbarse was never taught anything about respect,
coolness, having a gf (or bf), living on his own, or good car choices. :mad:
