Hard to believe

The dragon gone?! I have followed your teachings since the first day I joined here Chad. I never thought you'd sell your right arm. BTW those are nice
wheels on the new wagon. How long do you think it will take you to cease
the delay after you insert the key before turning it? Some lady rear
ended my TD last week and it's at the shop. My wife and I went to dinner in the Jag last night,I hardly ever drive it. I inserted the key, turned it, waited.
Nancy said, "what are you waiting for, xmas?" , this one starts with no glow ya know.

HA!! It does feel weird just cranking the starter with no glow.

Sorry to hear about your wagon. Mine moved on to a new home. I got some cash and a great parts car.

This morning I finished installing the mounting hardware for the cargo net/cover and I glued down the carpet tail for the first aid kit door.

While I was dealing with the hatch bits, I noticed that the motor for the soft close feature on the hatch was unplugged. I plugged it in and it works fine. Now to figure out what got bumped off and caused the central locks to no longer work. I assume it's something right at the vacuum pump since the collision center was working in that area. The locks all worked prior to the repairs they did.

Great TE. I am sure you will get luck with it. The TE would look great with a facelift. I am curious about this: is the 300E still going to remain in the garage? Or is the TE going to take its spot now?

The 95 is a parts car unless someone wants it as it is. The interior is in pieces and all of the best bits are on the 91. The car lost a flex disk and destroyed the transmission and driveshaft. The fender is rusted but otherwise looks solid. I'm undecided on upgrading the 91 to the 94-95 front end.

Not a bad deal from the Mrs. as far as keeping three rides of your own. by the way if IRC the TE was a forum members TE and E320 on BW? If I am not mistaken.

The TE came from a BW member, the E320 parts car came from a peachparts member.

I started melding them together and passed them on to gatorblue92.

Just got back from the Delaware DMV and the 300TE passed inspection with flying colors. I even lucked out and got another 5 digit plate so I can get a black porcelain plate

What's with the wheel changes? Or is that two different cars?
