First Update in a While

So it has been quite a while since I've updated our progress. That definitely doesn't mean we haven't had things going on. Since the last update we have:
-replaced a broken shift cable to the tune of $185
-poured solid urethane motor mounts
-finished the bushing installation
-replaced the broken passenger headlight motor
-discovered we had a bent front wheel
The car is getting a roll bar this week in preparation for VIR North on May 16 and 17th!

Things to do before that weekend are:
-flush brake fluid and buy good pads to swap in at VIR
-get an alignment and tech inspection
-still need to make sure we do not have an active oil leak (the engine area is just real dirty, and I'm not convinced its just old road grime)
-get the bent wheel swapped out (straight used wheel is sitting in my garage)
