[V8] The scrapbook has begun

[Jeremy Ward]

I think this is known as 'project creep' to project managers.  ;-)

I was out there today and they told me the glass guy came out to see the
car.  He said 'oh, it's like a 5000.  There is no room to manipulate my
knife and there is a better chance than not that I will brake the glass
getting it out.'  Fun.  Glass retails for $500 and the trim another $250.
On my dime. :-(

I visited on my lunch break and the body shop owner asked me if I wanted to
take the back seat and package tray out for the glass guy.  So dressed in my
work duds (Oxford and dark-colored slacks), I go to town.  This is the
second time I have removed this stuff and it was just as fun as I remembered
from last time; 30-45min of swearing in German.  Oh well, this part of the
job is on my dime as well, so at least I am 'saving' money, right?  Hah hah.

Glass comes out tomorrow and I will know by how much my wallet will be
lightened.  (fingers crossed)

I had them weld shut the cell antenna hole while they were repairing the
fender.  Cool!

I think you went a little overboard on your modifications ;-)
