Going to try and make it. Everything will be tight if I go. Work, money, and kids. Go big or stay home.

I'm hoping to find the last stupid air leak and put on a new muffler. After that I think she'll be ready to go to the reunion.

1. New intakes
2. New turbo
3. Fab water cooler system
4. Bypass valve
5. Air box
6. EEC Tuner Stuff
7. G force transmission

I have most of the materials. Just need time to work on it. House stuff is slowing down the process.
Remember we do this for fun. I’m not stressing on due dates. Timelines make these projects feel like work. I’m close to where I want to be I can feel it.
