Default OT: New toys for me.. But not for the R..

Although I do have some new stuff for it too, but that's a whole other story..

First off, for those that don't know, I moved back to the St. Louis area a month ago and sold the TRD Tacoma tow beast shortly before doing so.. Well, I needed a daily driver(thanks dad for letting me rock your car for a few weeks), so I picked up this nicey nice 2001 Prelude SH.. Satin Silver goodness..





What about modifying it, you might ask? Well, I've already got one money pit - the R - so I'm only doing a few little things.. Picked up an OEM lip and these little gems(JDM fogs, for anyone who doesn't know):


So anyway.. I moved back to STL metro area.. If anyone remembers the pics of the barn from December, well, we've been improving things a bit.. First off, we wired it all for 110 and 220(?) and hung a bunch of halogen lights for the summer(yellowish, don't attract bugs) and a strip of 8ft high output flourescents for the rest of the year:


also picked up this monster.. muhahaha..


BEND PAK? wtf?


yeah, that's right.. 10,000lb capacity, no hump, assymetrical lift..


and we need something to protect all this new stuff(in addition to the hulking yellow cat from the december pics):


they're not much to look at yet, but they'll be ferocious someday..

pops and I are doing all the work on this stuff, including installing the lift(should be fun), but at least I won't have to work on the R on the ground anymore.. that's all, just very happy how things are going right now and wanted to share!

i have a 96 Chevy 1 ton turbo diesel to use here..

the lift was a couple thousand.. I'd have to double check to get the exact amount.. we paid a bit more to get the heavier duty and assymetrical lift as opposed to a standard one.. figured might as well do it right the first time..

and yeah, those are corbeau forzas going into the R next week that were spotted..

Very nice toys you got there.
But, I am really liking your barn set up.
So much room! I guess it's just another
excuse for even more toys!
