Yeah, well hopefully. The woman thats living there now is being difficult and wont let the real estate agent show the place while shes still there. So we may be staying at Theresas moms for a couple days between our lease ending and moving in the new place. Who knows. Its a f*cking disaster

Shitty thing is, the place is so nice thats its so hard to just give up on it. 3br, finished basement, deck, new construction, huge 1 car garage, its legit.

That's still awesome. Is it rent to own? Or is the land-owner not willing to part with the place?

No just renting, but long term most likely. It would be nice to buy in the future if I decide to stay in the northeast but as of now they're strictly rentals. Who knows what the future will bring so not looking to settle down quite yet

That's how most of their coatings are designed to be applied. Evan was thinking outside the box when using a sprayer.

Yeah, although I had better results brushing it. When I sprayed it had alot of little bubbles in it (you also see them every now and then when brushing) but the gun seemed to aerate the paint. I could have tried a lower PSI but I was only shooting the bumper support and didnt feel like spending alot of time on it.

So good news and bad news. Front shocks are finished and just came in today. Bad news is the rears needed some special order parts and wont be here for another couple weeks, so Im going to have to put some stock shocks in to move the car to the new crib this weekend

Anyway, packages fresh from AST Suspension...



.

.

Assembled them with the new helpers and 650lb (12k) ERS springs



.

.

New style adjusters



.

.





.

.

And a little welding I was doing at work the other day, practicing pulsing with the MIG...

I was thinking about that today, figured you would be getting them in sooner. Bummer that the rears won't come in time, it would be nice to compare the upgrades all at once. So what are the rates going to be for the rear? 10k? Do you think the ride quality will be harsh or just stiff?

P.S. I know how much moving sucks so lmk if you need an extra hand

Yeah, I mean Im just going to drive it to the new place and its going right back on jackstands to prepare for when the shocks come in. Just gotta give it a quick alignment before the hour trip...Rear rates are going to be 18k. It will be pretty stiff, but they are good dampers valved for the spring rates so it shouldnt be harsh.

We might be able to use an extra hand on saturday moving the heavy furniture into the new place. Its in Northbridge, about 15 min from Milford. If you think you can swing by at some point let me know
