What I did today.



Seeing the quality of welding and manufacturing of parts you have done
for Kristen I would love to have you weld something for me.  I just

as I am switching to a TEC II engine management system and will be
getting rid of all the bosch stuff.  I am envious of the intake tubing
I seen pictures of that you made for your car I think.
