Andrew has let his website lapse before, and he's been known to travel the globe.

He's a Facebook friend, he's posted on there in the past few days, so I sent him a message. I'll let you know when I hear from him.

Ive got a good one John. I sent you a pm about a week ago about the mounting parts. I figured you hadnt seen it, and I was going to call later today actually.

If you remember right, before I had to take my hiatus, we talked and I measured up various parts of the trans for ya.

I was looking at the v.2 xr build thread and I was thinking. While it does help motivate me as well as it does others, I kinda get depressed. Maybe I shouldn't be trying to do this without any garage space or my own welder...feel like im wasting my time.

I hate half assing things.

Sorry to be a downer. Guess I just got to press on and see how this turns out.

I made more progress during the times when I didn't have a garage or had a shitty garage than I have during the past two years when I've had a huge shop space to work in.
The largest progress on the entire rally car was when I working on it in a single car width driveway with a single car garage acting as tool storage. I shoveled the area around the car religiously, hurting my back at times having to shovel snow over the fence to get it out of the driveway. Once it warmed up, I felt obligated to work on the car since I put so much effort into preparing the area to work on it once it did warm up.

Haha, nice. Yeah, Im not really getting down on myself and working less.. Im honestly getting back into it. Its just the 'big picture' problem. As one bit whole it looks like too much to handle.

I guess I'll have to be gettin' over that, haha.


John, please remember that email.
