8) Nope...Did those myself....come to think of it, did most things myself with the exception of the cleared corners and jacking up the car when I did the calipers...

Gumball...this is the only time I will allow y'all to call me a (post)whore. ;)

Thanks for the comments everyone... She may not have Boost...and I may not be able to do a whole lot to her right now... but she's the first thing I ever bought just for me... (the house don't count because I have to share it with the kids.) But my car is MY Car... My Crisis... and yea, it's nice to be selfish for once. ;)

No one probably deserves "something for themself" more than you Tracey! Great to see the passion you share for your bonneville, and the pride you display in it's ownership. COTM.........sure got my vote! ;)

Lol....especially when you've got a buddy holding an umbrella for you! 8)

BillBoost37 06-22-2006 08:01 AM

Geez...I did mine in the garage alone...

I feel like I missed out on something... :roll:

Nice little time-line of the your Bonneville's events. She has come along way and continues to improve with age. All of your mods have been tatseful and really set the car apart.

I am glad you joined and have decided to take part in all of the craziness that is BC.

Looking back, when you first joined, did you think that you would be modifying your car and driving hundreds of miles to hang out with other Bonneville nuts?

Never in a million years....I thought I had found some great motorheads to pick their brains solely for the purpose to avoid being taken advantage of when I needed car repairs. ...the friendships were a pleasantly surprising BONUS.

My kids think I'm turning into "a guy", my folks think I've lost my marbles, and my non-BC friends say, "...if only you'd take care of your house like you do that silly car." Ah well... Lol... more good times to come, that's for sure.

GXP Venom 06-22-2006 05:47 PM

Gorgeous looking Tracy. And all the Mods with your hands in them. I always loved the color. Break a leg in the COTM running.....You N.E.guys ought to band together and help Tracey out too. She's been deserving the COTM nod for quite a while.... and keeps missing by a nose. That an SLE Nose :D

McGrath 06-22-2006 06:06 PM

Looks great, the grill is my fav!

Ed

Newt427 06-22-2006 09:22 PM

I get to see the real thing soon!!! :D Can't wait!!! I too like the painted grill inserts.

I would really like to ride in it sometime if you don't mind 8) never been in 2005, I am looking to upgrade myself to a newer style as my bonneville is starting to show it's age mechanically (125,000 miles).

singscountry1967 06-22-2006 11:58 PM

Lol....thanks John and Ed. I'm happy with the way she's evolved too.

Newt - sure you can take her for a spin sometime...but beware.... it may make you want to get a newer one!

markwb 06-23-2006 09:39 PM

Tracy, That's an absolute beauty you have there. I'm on 56k dial up & it's always worth the wait to see the gorgeous pics of the "Crisis". You very talented, girl!
