If we hadn't lucked into this thing we would have had a way turdier car. Probably a turbo K-car.

The car still isn't done, it's close though! More decals showed up to hide the endless number of paint blemishes. 1)Hide the factory wing mirror mounts and 2)Adds to the P40 fighter plane-ness  Counter jinx!  This isn't progress...  This is though. Both switches are wired up. The left one even does something!  It controls our collapsed sun! DoritoPower has said he refused to spend a single second behind us - fine. We'll just channel our inner JC.

DrakeriderCa posted:I'm good with this. Are we rolling down together in SCH? I hope so. Want me to pick you up Saturday morning? We could get the car completely packed Friday night. Edit: Another update is due. I need to trim the factory front fenders a little. Due to the softness of the factory suspension and the wheel spacers, on full compression there is a little rubbing happening. I also seem to have broken the cigarette lighter last time I took out the dash centre. So that's coming out again. It needs to anyway since I'm going to patch up the holes with panels from the bent hood. McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jul 14, 2016 |

I might not be joining you crazy fucks. Looks like some friends are coming to town this weekend and I might be flying with another friend to Vulcan on Sunday in his plane.

Haha, no seriously, we have friends from Winterpeg up and we're going to get together this weekend. My buddy has a small fly-in at Vulcan Sunday that he asked if I want to come with him. I'm a sucker for free plane rides.

They can't be that cool :P Everyone knows its the worst place in the prairies. This sick burn brought to you by someone from not in Winnipeg, Manitoba who hates how Winnipeg hogs all the glory, but they suck.

I also have our fuel 2-stroke transportation issue solved.  These are all going to ride in the hard shell rifle case bolted to the drivers side of the roof basket. As luck would have it each bottle gets us the correct ratio given our fuel tank size.  Off to Canadian Tire for blade fuses now since I don't have any and our 20A cigar lighter fuse is blown. Yes, Mazda has that circuit labelled as Cigar on the fuse box.

Did you fender-mount a bottle opener? Because if not you've missed a great opportunity, but could just stick with a church key.

Okay, so your gas station stop is going to be this: Pull up, fill tank, open rifle case, take beer out of rifle case, open beer with bottle opener that's been installed in the bumper, pour beer directly into the gas tank, then drive away like it ain't no thing. Seeing that would make me question my own sanity. You people are beautiful.

Thanks guys. I feel a little less old. Took it to a detailing shop today.  Not bad!  So much cleaner.  Lighting is bad today, rain and shadow everywhere.   Scuff is much better in person.  Got the windows down in the shop and the big fan blowing in, hopefully I can dry out the upholstery overnight.

From 1900 until just now I was working on the car. The following has been completed.
In addition, I'm completely packed as far as camping supplies, clothes, etc. Everything is in the hatch and there's plenty of room left. I would like to remind everyone that in addition to following the twitter & instagram accounts of the rally itself, you'll get more content if you just search for posts tagged with #tm2twrally.
