Mine is almost done but still have so many little things to button up. How is your progressing on your sand car?
How’s your summer prep coming along?

Finally brought my car home 3 weeks ago and haven't touched it. Plan was a full prep and fix the broken trans mounts, and weld up cracks on the front bulkhead. I'll be lucky to just get the trans mounts fixed and do fluids and filters.

Struggle is real two boys in tackle football and another in travel soccer. House re model has been going since July and still going.
Dez toys got pushed to the back burner
Buggy got put back in the trailer on its own power MLK weekend but will need, CVs prep, fluids and filters.
Motorhome needs all new house batteries 4-6v
Enclosed trailer roof needs re sealing and all new electric brakes
5 of 6 dirt bikes are ready to go
With youth sports going looks like thanksgiving will be the first trip depending on tournaments or play offs schedules.

Well, I thought I was almost ready, but my engine decided otherwise.

Got my new sparcos tacked in. Going to finish welding the new mounts tonight. New belts going in this week. Then it's just fluids and CVs and I'm ready. There's more cosmetic things i'd "like" to do, but unnecessary for the season.

Got car in garage, then took dirt bike out and broke index finger, nothing has been done since. F..cking hurts to do anything, I don't think I can do CV's with the left hand. In another week, we start with CV's

Lost oil pressure while on the dyno. Had to pull the engine and take it back to the builder. Not having much luck with this car...

Just got my car back from having the trans rebuilt. Left the trans oil in to long and it gummed up the works. Wouldn't shift after sitting overnight. Presidents weekend last year. Just needed 3rd gear and a thorough cleaning. Cheap fix for an Albins! Now just replacing some oil lines and checking all the chaffing points. I'm sure I will find some things on the first trip out. Veterans weekend.
