Where is 'there?' Any tools around? If there are I may order up some power steering rack seals to try and knock that job out this weekend.

"There" is right outside San Marcos, Doug will be more than happy to provide instructions.....

Tools? - Hah!, yeah.......if you need it - he has it - including a two-post lift. Trust me - we have the technology......

Maybe I'm blind and didn't see the location? where... I am near FTW.

Also in FTW: Don Istook is a neat guy - I just p/u a TT and sold him an S2 block.

The 3.0 cab isn't ready but the 5.7 is road worthy.

Well, I went ahead and took care of my air filter and plug change - all I need to do to my car this weekend is timing/balance belts, oil change, and fog light troubleshooting.

oh yeah -

Well, we'll do it this way too:

From San Antonio or Houston take IH 10 to Seguin. Turn north on hwy. 123. Go about 1.5 miles to state hwy. 20. Turn right and go about 15 miles. When you pass York Creek you have about 1/2 mile to go. Turn right on Fruit lane (look for the Rennlist sign) and go about 1/4 mile to "Rolling Thunder" entrance.

From San Marcos and IH 35 take the hwy. 123 east exit and travel about 1/8 mile to hwy. 621. Stay on 621 through Staples for about 15 miles. When 621 merges with hwy 20, follow 20 past Little Cottonwood Creek. Go about 1/2 mile to Fruit Lane an watch for the Rennlist signs to Rolling Thunder.

And just in case: 512.626.0155

I'll bring my multimeter and timing belt stuff (flat wrench for the balance belt idler, flywheel lock, kriket and misc. metric stuff). Parts for the power steering rack are supposed to be here according to the note on my door when I got home.

The insurance co. got back to me and according to the evidence and probably the police report it'll all be covered by her policy. I've cleaned up the car as much as possible since they took pictures and already did the estimate and it doesn't look bad anymore. A friend of mine thought it already came back from the shop but it's not going in until next week.

Cool, if anyone has the 9201 or Arnworx tool and would bring it - that would be really cool.
