Wife decided we needed to redo our entry way, so we gutted it and started over. Don’t have pics of it before, but I have some along the way:

Then proceeds to try to show how cool it is by driving up and down banks in the yard. Bitch Please:

My little Easter Egg arrived last night:

Thanks to Wisconsin’s overuse of spray salt this winter, my rust free van now has 2 gaping holes in the rockers:

Got my wiring all sorted on the car (engine at least). Confirmed my Solenoid pack, TCM, and TPS are in working order. Engine still runs like a dream, trans still fails to shift out of 2nd gear.

Thought this would be a good “easter egg” on the car’s hood:

Mystery plug may be the cause of all my issues:

Got the engine and trans mated last night:

Got the hood/fender done on Saturday. My 2 cousins and my 2 oldest daughters did all the paint work:

We had high 50s last week. Then got 6 inches of snow on top of 1 inch of ice Saturday/Sunday. Monday/Tuesday were high 40s, then yesterday came along:

Figured I’d post up on my filled engine mounts. A few more days of drying before they get installed, but I’m hoping they do the trick:

Left work at 2 yesterday, decided I needed to really get cracking, so I went home and started ripping the old drivetrain out, finally!

Got a little farther last night. Got both axles tore out, removed the front motor mount and the trans mount, so they could be Poly filled, decided to carry the graffiti into the inner fenders:

Decided it was too cold to do any real work this weekend, so I got my taillights sorted:

Thought I’d take some shot of my new lights and the difference they make:

So after some pondering and planning, we’ve decided to do a “galaxy” theme on the hood/fender of the car.
