You are welcome Ed. FFO was quite an event.I believe the final show field total was 188 cars,a new FFO record ! My Beta even had company,another Beta Coupe from Canada.I have more pics to add,I'll post them later after I photoshop them (some are too dark).

Thats all you have to say about FFO?!!!!

My GOD man, give us who were unable to attend a better report of the weekend than that!!

You know, folks that made asses of themselves with the help of good ol Bud wiser and Jack Daniels at the parking lot parties, the excitement of the scenic drives, who won what from the show and auto crosses.....etc!!! LOL

Sorry Jim,I can't give too much info on the famous after hours FFO parking lot activities as I wasn't staying at the Inn. I drove there each day as I only live 35 miles away.I wouldn't have been able to endulge in the Bud and Jack Daniels consumption and then drive home.Also my wifey keeps me on a pretty short leash. :'(

Thanks Jim,
I actually still have my two original rear strut mounts.When I had the car apart last winter I picked up a set of rear strut mounts from ebay that looked pretty nice.They were from a desert state and the paint was still on the metal,not rusty looking like the originals.So I shelved the originals and used the "pretty ones".I guess the unfortunate trade off was that rubber must have been brittle from sitting out in the desert heat for who knows how long.I dug out the originals,looked them over and the rubber seems nice and plyable.I will simply have to sandblast the rust off and paint them.That's what I get for being lazy and not just doing that in the first place. :mad: I really appreciate your offer,but I think I'll be ok with the originals cleaned up. And now that I have the car up on the jack stands I'll do a bunch of stuff I've been putting off.I have new Beta Boyz control arm bushings to install and I have to replace that confounded manual steering rack bushing that seems to fall apart every two years (creating a nasty rattle).
