	I'm not sure if we have one of these yet or not. If we don't, maybe sticky this one?

	I'll go first: For the M3, I bought a BMW Motor-sport Group A Touring Car exhaust: Dual 2.75in piping, high-flow HJS cats, hand-made by BMW, lighter than 30lbs. For my sister's Volvo 240: Cylinder head from a B234f. The original motor (8v, B21F) died at 616,334 miles. It's being replaced by a 16v head from a B234F that we are going to build and then a fresh B230 block. [last edit 9/16/2009 7:47 AM by Sinister Crayon - edited 1 times]

	for the Monte Carlo- lower ball joint, tie rod end, a length of 3/8" steel line and compression fitting kit to fix the power steering cooler return line.

	For the beetle- a paint job. 600,000km of sandblasting has taken it's toll. So did the '93 Paseo that backed into me a few weeks ago. For the tercel- a pair of Sparco Corsa racing seats, a Momo suede wrapped rally steering wheel.

	As of right now, just gas, but I might get a wheel hub assembly and a new fuel neck shortly. Both have seen better days but I'm kinda waiting for them to fail completely, ha.

	i want to put a different steering wheel on the Monte Carlo, but I'm not sure about the legality of removing an air bag in New York state, especially on an 11-year old car.

Its actually only federal law, not state. Federal law just requires a passive safety device like a seat belt or airbag to installed.

	4300k hid kit for my fog lights to go on my A4. And an infinity kappa sub to replace my alpine I burnt last friday. Once I clear my visa: winter tires + rims for said tires and unitronic flash.

Found a vintage VW roofrack on Kijiji too! (And when I told the seller I have a collection of aircooled Bugs, he gave me literally a truckload of Bug parts he had in his shed for the past 20 years)

The wood on the rack needs replacing but I've been looking for one for years.

Sorry my "model" is a bit ghetto. She'll be pretty by spring I'm sure.

Looking better than when I picked her up, anyhow:

Also, this rack will be going on my '66, not this '72 as it's a bit more period for the '66. It's missing the little rubber feet and I'm not too concerned if it scratches this car right now. It's gonna need a bit of restoration itself, the wood is toast... going to use teak instead this time.

Oh yeah, I've been known to sell the odd one. As long they're going to a good home (ie: not being made into a dune buggy), and the buyer passes a criminal background check, etc...
