I seriously havn't touched it in almost a month! Don't worry, once my brakes get back and the garage changaroo get's done, there'll be a flurry of pictured documented activity!

Jeff, as a side note, I'll probably be going to see my best friend in Nashville in Sept, are you in that neck of the woods?

I'm a couple of hours southwest, just outside of Memphis. My father-in-law lives in Nashville though, eastern side, I think around I-40 milemarker 221. When you get some final plans, let me know. If I'm off, we'll shoot up for the day and grab some beverages:haveadrin .

Hey guys,

This weekend was a change of home for my bug. Walt, the Volksrodders guy, also the guy who built my front suspension, helped me out with his enclosed car trailer. He's such a great guy, I really appreciate him.

Anyway, Mike, I found the wrappers for the PU bushings. They are Energy Suspension part #9-9107G, a 4 bar bushing set with 1-1/4" OD, 1/2" ID.

Jeff, my buddy has an M3 that I'm sure could use a workout, so we can head your way too. I'd love to see your ride in person. Maybe GET a ride? Will you get that damn thing running again!!!!?

Jason

More than welcome to roll this way. Easy to find our place, not far off the interstate, lots of eateries close by. Just try to give a heads up on the day so I can arrange to be off.
If its not going by Sept, we have a pretty serious problem. This whole waiting on the M/C is driving me nuts, he's a very good friend trying to do me a favor but DANG!

I hppe this doesn't seem like an overly obvious suggestion, but has anyone just cut the frame head off and welded on a subframe to carry a Mustang II front end? All complete in one package with steering and geometry all worked out?
