Default 99 Salvage (the green bean)

Back in October I purchased a stock 99 that was red in color.
I want to apologize to the owners out there that have red, I hate red, my x liked red. She tore up red. I hate red
Olive drab green in 48 hours

In November I joined CF and began my addiction. I also learned that the 3" blocks were going to be the death of me, so I took them off.

In December I began fender trimming. I rolled the pinch weld too. I searched every thread on fenders to get this done without a welder. I cut my fenders with snips and a grinding wheel

That muted flat olive green is a great color, nice choice. Did you paint the interior door trim to match or is it still the dreaded-ex's fave color?

Changed water pump today, on the side of the freeway. I was in luck, I could walk down the embankment and cross a street to an Advance Auto. Changed thermostat while I was at it. Glad I had my tools...

Added tow rings and some chain to front. Looks mean, but functional. Tested it by pulling out a stump. No tweakage. Photo taken at Haspin 4/13/2012
