Have some lamb and baked pasta. My dad made sausage and peppers last night. Mixed the leftovers in with some spaghetti , added mozzarella and baked it. All the kiddos got a swim in. My brother’s pit tried to kill himself by jumping in the pool (he’s too dense to swim). Great night. Your uncle’s beer is at the Vietnam memorial. Was gonna leave it at the USS Arizona memorial, but I already gave one can to a homeless guy there and was pretty sure he’s drink whatever I left.

Oh I was confused, I’m from Hawaii and I never knew there were other Arizona memorials! Cheers!

I was almost dead a week ago, but now Im not. But now Im temporarily mobility limited, which means I can’t do much in the way of car stuff. Or anything really. So nothing interesting to post.

Although I am trying to use this time to plan out some details for stuff I want to do to my 240. Well, that and sleep.  But the sleep isn't happening right now.

Oh we are just shitposting, anything works. I often eat edibles to sleep better, after the USMC I get pretty keyed up at night sometimes and can’t sleep well. It knocks my ass out. I like what I’ve done to my Z, enough to make it better and safer but not ruin the classicness.

That’s cool, I didn’t know. I guess it makes sense since it’s named for the state. I’ve driven by Pearl a million times, I try to imagine the scene that took place there, it’s crazy. I know where airplane pieces have grown into trees in the hills.

My job is Federal and I have a clearance so I can’t do edibles. I also learned after this surgery that I’m immune to narcotic pain pills, no relief from anything from Oxy all the way up t o Fentynal. So yay T ylenol? Im also normally a side / stomach sleeper and this big abdominal wound doesn’t really let me do that... without being in agony. I think Im like a reverse shark? Im pretty sure if you flip a shark on its back i t falls asleep. Im like that but on my tummy.

Im going all in on the Volvo, or at least I want to. On t he outside I want to detrim, fill the holes, and shave the drip rails. The one big-ish thing I want to tackle is removing the big 70s style crash bumpers. This requires fabricating some body panels to go under them as the car is essentially unfinished under the bumpers. T hen I want to put on a smaller “lip” type bumper. Im actually looking at using Z car bumpers.

The interior Im planning to redo by gutting, Dynamatting the heck out of, and then a new carpet. Then period sport seats, maybe out of an E30 BMW or something similar, new door cards that will support bigger speakers, and a nice stereo. I also want to convert it to power windows and door locks.

Running gear will be S60R brakes, a set of BBS wheels, and upgraded suspension (the suspension bits haven’t been fully fleshed out yet) . Eventually, I’m planning to swap in a Ford 8.8 axle with Torsen diff, and a Volvo 4.4L V8 out of an 05-10 XC90 and a Tremec TR6060 close ratio transmission.

Oh yeah I had a federal job after the military, but now I’m in show biz, I think half the people are high. I am useless on it, I basically take it ahead of going to bed and zonk out. I like to sleep on my side, when I was in the hospital it drove me nuts to sleep on my back. The drugs worked on me, they had me on stuff for a couple weeks. I can see how people can get into trouble with the stuff. I kept joking I wasn’t happy anymore when they cut me off. That sucks you can’t get more relief. The Volvo sounds like its gonna be mean. I would like an LSD in the Z, not much else I would want to do, I’ll take a Fujisubo exhaust if someones buying. Oh I do need better seats now that you mention it, I have my eye on some at Classic Car Seats.

I hate the weekends now, specially Saturday night. It’s a very visceral response, but really... I just want it to be Monday. Monday morning. Daytime. I’ll take my bike out and just cycle until I run out of podcasts to listen. Until its dark.

I’m not a sporty person, yet the other day I caught myself doing 50 km on the bicycle. Just two or three trips a day; going through neighborhoods.

But you see, they don’t post podcasts on weekends, and I can’t cycle at night. The epitome of boredom is Saturday night; I have to stay in, and I have no podcasts to fill the background with.

Well, you’ve confirmd what I’ve always suspected about folks in showbiz! Ha! But really what you’re saying makes sense, wish I could find something to knock me out like that. This last week all I’ve really had is the ASMR thing - thank god Bob Ross made like 400 episodes of the Joy of Painting.

The Volvo should be pretty mean if I can pull it all off. Im getting antsy to heal up so I can go get it, it’s currently sitting at fellow Oppo Armmes’ house. It runs, but not well enough that I trust it to make the 150 mile trip down here on its own. Most of those plans are tentative and may change depending on whim or if I find a better solution. For example, I’m going to check out Classic Car Seats and see if they have anything that strikes my fancy!

The Z sounds nice and I like that you are keeping it mostly stock and period correct.  My goal with the Volvo is to keep it looking period correct, hence no big widebody kit or anything crazy outside, and Im going to avoid big LCD screens and such on the inside.

Yeah my sleep “ meds” are kicking in right now, time to get Sylvie to bed too. Classic Car Seats has most of the classic styles and you can choose many options, fabrics, leather, vents, bolsters, it’s amazing. They will do whatever you want. I picked out some that are similar GTR race seats from back then, one day I’ll dial something in and get them.

Mine got kinda bleached out or got a hole in it, I think. I can’t remember. :(

Does anyone else have bad luck with Blipshift shirts? Most of the grey or greyish green shirts bleach out in weird spots (usually around the neck) prematurely.

Aw, man. Feel better soon!

At least there’s planning. I’m limited as far as funds go, so that’s also a thing. I have an attack plan—I just need to find the parts.

In my defense I posted 3 times today and this was posted at 2 AM EST. I’m doing okay but I got nitrite glove dust all over my freshly detailed interior.

Thanks, Stef.

Y ou know what you need to get, at least, thats a good start. M y 240 needs a tune up, timing belt, and flame trap to start, and then tons of body work and rust removal. Which should be interesting because I don't really know how to do any of that, but I got a welder, angle grinder, and am just dumb enough not to let my lack of knowledge or skill stop me!
