9-01-2006-- Damn, it's been a while since I have beed on here. Well since I lasted posted anything, we had a baby girl about 3 1/2 months ago. She consumes most of my time. I haven't done anything to the vehicles. You can also catch me on myspace if you want at:www.myspace.com/donaldjp 12-10-2005--Well, it's been a little while since I posted anything on here. Since last time I posted, I got the rearend and the gas tank out of the SVO. But haven't done anything else with it. I also bought a 1999 Ford Expedition, since I need a family car now. I installed an Alpine DVD/CD player with the 7" screen on it and a system in it. But thats all I really have done besides work. 09-21-2005--Man oh man, I am happy, I found out yesterday that I am going to be a father, and I am happy. I am excited. I bought a LA3 Computer and a underdrive serpentine belt pulley off of Ebay for the SVO. I started pulling the rearend out, but I am having problems getting the lower control arm bolts out. They are being a pain. But thats all I have really done so far. 09-05-2005--I hope everybody had a good Labor Day Weekend, because I did. Well, I just needed a cylinder head for the Mustang, but I found a whole motor out of a 87' Turbocoupe for $150, so I bought that instead. The same day I bought that motor, the clutch in my truck went out. So I had to put a new clutch in it. Then to top that off, the Saturday after I put a clutch in it, I hydroplaned and rearended somebody. Didn't do no damage to the other guys truck, except put a scratch on his bumper, but I tore my grill, headlight, headlight panel, and bumper up. So, I have to spend more money now. 07-28-2005--Well, I found out that my cylinder head is cracked, so thats more money that I have to spend now. But oh well. Just will have to wait a little longer than I wanted to get the car done. 07-23-2005--I got the motor tore apart a couple of days ago, the cylinders are smooth, but I am going to have the engine block acid washed and x-rayed to make sure nothing is wrong with it. I still need to order a rebuild kit for it, so hopefully that will be soon. 06-28-2005--Well, I got the motor pulled on the SVO, and halfway torn down. Probably going to finish tearing it down tonight. I won't be able to do anything to it this weekend, since I will be in Myrtle Beach for 4th of July weekend. Hopefully it won't rain and I will have some fun. 05-08-2005--Well, I got my carpet, my white face gauges, and a hood for my SVO. Now I am going to get the interior screw kit from 5.0 Resto so that I can get my interior put back in. 01-22-05--Well I went ahead and sold the 85 GT so that I could put money into the SVO, since I want to get it finished one day. I am waiting to get my carpet ordered so that I can finish my interior. 08-21-04--Well on 8-9-04, I bought a 1985 Ford Mustang GT with T-tops for $500. It needs a little work, but nothing major, it had been sitting for a while. I haven't really done anything to the SVO, besides putting the dash back together. I still need to order my carpet to finish the interior. 06-27-04--Not to much has been going on, i cleaned all of my junk out of the SVO so that I can start putting the dash back together. But after I do that, I am stuck not doing really anything to it till I get some carpet for it. But hopefully I can get some soon. 05-01-04--Well, I finally got some pics of the SVO on the website, it's not the prettiest thing, but it's mine. I am taking the Escort to the body shop Monday to get it fixed, so that will finally be done with. Haven't had time to do much to the vehicles, but hopefully this summer I will get something done. 04-17-04--Well, not to much has been going on. Hit a deer on 04-10-04 in the Escort I just bought. It is going to cost $2100 to fix it, but the insurance doesn't know what it wants to do yet. I hope they don't want to total it, becuase I am not going to let them. If they do I will withdraw the insurance claim and fix it myself. 03-27-04--Well, didn't do to much today. We are going to go and pick a 1997 Ford Escort on Monday that me and my girlfreind bought for her. It only has 52,000 miles on it, and we are only paying $2600 for it. Hopefully I will be able to get the carpet for the SVO this week so that I can finish the interior. 03-24-04--Well, I had to start a new webpage since for some reason I couldn't get into my old page. It has been a while since I have put anything on my page. I sold my 1992 Mustang Convertible. I bought a heater core, ac condensor, ac/heater controller, and a center console for the SVO. I have to put the interior back in the car still, but that will happen when I get time to do it. But thats all I have really done. But I will keep you posted on what is going on though.
