No, he's been working on the project Super Swift (which is nearly finished) and he's been helping me here and there with my stuff.

I have his car in my garage now, and we allready fixed up the silver lanos I sold him ( gave him my 1.5L SOHC/transmision/tires from my Red "winter" lanos that only had 75,000 km on it )

Unfortunatly I have my 1.6L/1.5L SOHC hybrid in the red lanos but I'm have low oil pressure.... even tried to force more assembly loob into the pump to try and prime it... but it's still air locked.

I'm going to have to drop the pan and force the oil through the system to get the oil pump going... I'm just crossing my fingers that the pump is not the problem since it will be a huge pain to change out.

I'm sure he will be around here and there... he still owns a Daewoo and I'm pretty sure he still likes to come on the board here and there.

But as far as projects go...... you won't see him doing anything more in the near future.... I'm sure he will be spending all his money on the sailboat he bought.

I have three lake lots with two cabins on a decent sized lake about an hour out of town and he's going to keep his boat on a big lake about 15 minutes from my place ( my lake is better for motorboats and the other one is better for sailing) so I'm sure we will both be spending lots of time on the water this summer.

I will have a number of track worthy cars by next year ( If I get my ass in gear ) so I'm sure I will be able to get him to come racing with me at least a couple of times next year.

Personally I'm getting a bit tired of doing everything myself (often with Tom's help) so I might even start contracting some local shops to help out on certain installs so that I spend more time racing and less time looking at half finished projects.

Basicly I think that once my projects are finished both Tom and I will probalby be slightly less active on the forum..... but I'm sure we will both be around for quite some time.

While I am not have the project car at this point, I will still be lurking here left and right. That is a promise

good to hear, i think it's safe to say that if i didn't find you back in 2001/2002 i wouldn't have my car still so i'm glad to see you're still around.
