Well, its less than 2 weeks away from the WCC and my car is still in assembly stage. At this point I really dont think I am going to get the car to where I would drive it up there. Everytime I get something put together, I realize something else needs to be done or what I wanted to do wont work. Looks like I am going with the M calipers on the front instead of the 240DL brakes. They look cool on the car but I dont think they will work very good as they dont sit far enough down on the rotor. Only about two thirds of the pad will make contact and the rest would be off the top of the rotor. I really think I would want effective brakes rather than cool looking brakes. I will continue working on it till its done but I think at this point, I will be taking the truck up and maybe trailering the car. It all depends on what I get done. I wanted to get it running so I could drive it a little to make sure everything is right on it. If I were only 18 or 19 again, I would be crazy enough to do it. My luck, it would break down half way up there and I would have to tow it home. An expense I cant afford right now. These things are really money pits. Its costing me a fortune and its not even done yet. So I guess I fit right in here with all you other crazy people.
