    Well, since I've started school I havent had much time to do anything to the mav. I get to go home on the weekends and stare at it. Which is kinda comforting :oops:. I know just bored and ready to get back at it again. Just been getting ideas for the mav. I've figured out the fuel injection wouldnt be to much of a pain besides running new fuel lines...just rambling and havent posted in awhile. :slap:

    I feel your pain. I just spent about 4 hours at the shop with my baby, I got all the weatherstripping in it, the side marker lights, tail lights, battery on/off switch driver side mirror and driver side door handles back on. ***driver side is sanded and buffed, just need to get the passenger side and its DONE!!! WOOOOO WOOOOOOOO

    Also, I put the convo pro's on the driver side just to see what it looks like.
    I feel like a theaf.........how much fun is one guy allowed in a day?

    Don't feel bad. I had ordered some parts last week for mine, and the person I ordered from promised me it'd be there by friday so I could set it all up and race that sunday (yesterday). I still am waiting...got some of the stuff I needed, but the main part is still missing.

    :mad:

    I haven't touched one of my three Mavs for well over two weeks. Not a parts or other things to fix problem, though. I'm battling prostatitis and I'm just uncomfortable as all get.:cry: Hopefully, the six weeks of medication I'm on will work. I'm ready to get greasy.:clap:

    NO excuses to miss Carlisle next year, your only about 100 miles away.
