Work has started again on The CONE.
Well we are working on the body now but all of the suspension repairs have been done.
The rear trailing arm was badly bent and all of the rotors were shot.
The cone is using up all of my spare parts i have colected up for the rebuild of " 0663 " the CW 98 i picked up and rebuilt after a bad crash last year.
Th cone now sports my ITR front seats,stock rotors,a spare rear trailing arm, spare pass side mirror, and multable small idems i have colected over the year.
We are still waiting for Andrew to ship out some parts for the int but all in all the car is starting to look good.
ETC---- some where in the next 2 months it should be on the road with a dummy motor "B16" untill a itr power planr can be found and bought.
We also have a real good ida why you crashed your car!
Bald rear tires and a realy bad front bearing on the right side which has at least 1/4 in deflection! how in the hell did you drive like that? That thing must have been all over the road.

yeah, as soon as I get some money I'll get right on sending out everything.
I didn't know the front wheel bearing was bad? That explains how I popped the axle last winter...

Man you guys ??? That car is not damaged that bad? Mine was two to three times as bad and it took me less than a month of working it over on the side to put it back on the street in great shape.

Back on the road--Yes but it still will not be able to take a pic at the expo due to the cw,py,bk groups not wanting it in their picture

Spoon also sells a shiftlinkage - last time I checked it wasn't that pricey. (the recommend replacing it like every 60k).

Lol, hard to tell these days isn't it...
Bottom of page --> http://www.spoonsports.us/cata...n.htm
60k km = 37k mi (approx.)

Not like I buy the advice but I figured I'd let it be known - if it were a company other than Spoon I'd be shot on the spot for saying it lol...
