I was more worried that after all of these years I had sold or misplaced a lot of the important stuff.

The only real upside to having taken this long on certain builds is I am much more confident now in my abilities as well as the overall quality of work / attention to detail.
Sitting in my giant pile of parts is a kouki lip you shipped to me on a bus, probably...5 years ago?

The conversation went something like this...

Me: Hun, we need to go to the bus station
Wife: Why?
Me: I need to pick up a car part..
Wife: At the bus station?
Me: Yep.
Wife: What part?
Me: An expensive lip for a bumper I don't own yet, to a car that is in a million pieces.

She wasn't thrilled.

But at least now I have the rest of the front end to go with that lip.
