Thumbs up Big Thanks to the Gulf Forum (Pics Included)

I just wanted to give a big thank you to all the D/FW-Houston forum members that came out to the Install Party yesterday. I had a really great time, and the food and booze was great.

I wanted to give a special thanks to all the people that helped with MS Kit and Sway Bar install on my car. I think we started at 7:30am and didnt get finished until 11pm, wow... thats some dedication right there. I am really greatful for all the help because with out it I know I wouldn't have been able to put these in myself.

Chris, thanks for opening up your home to us and letting us destry your garage. I forgot the bumper at your place. If you want to chunk thats fine, but if not i can pick it up from you at the next meet.
Sam, sorry I couldnt give you a spin in the car after we finished. I was running late for some place i needed to be. Remind me at the next BJs meet, and we'll definetely do it then.
Mark, thanks for coming up from houston to the trunk/bumper swap. Hope you had a good time.

Pics are attached in the replies below. By any chance, if there's a pic of your car that you don't want posted, send me a PM. I need to go zaino that trunk and clean off the wheels. I'll post fresh daytime pics later today.

EDIT: I forgot to mention... While me and Jenkins were driving around that night we saw a white AE86 (or AE85, hard to spot the difference). I almost crapped my pants in excitement. The guy rolled up to us to say hi, seemed pretty nice.

that's awesome, we used to do the same thing back in my mini-truckin' days, we'd start the day with some poor soul and his stock height truck, end it with someone stoked out of his/her mind and driving around scraping frame lol sigh...good times (wish I had the funds to join you all, so many things I'd like to do to my 8 but so many things I'm stll having to pay for from my practice marriage....argh..lol)

Let's see... Harry, Slim, Sam, EG, Mark from Houston, Shari...

Harry - sway bars and full MS kit, trunk swap and front bumper swap w/Mark
Slim - I'm not sure what all he did, but at least the carputer face plate thingy
Sam - insulated center console
EG - exhuast, intake, blacked out markers and headlamps, blacked out emblems...
Mark from Houston - trunk and front bumper swap w/Harry
Shari - Sam looked up her CEL on the scanalyzer, found problem and attempted to correct

I'm sure there's more too.
