I went ahead by removing the fenders.  This was supposed to be one of the easy things in this whole project. Turns out it was much more difficult. Due to the lack of a 1Ft 3/8 extension I had to spend countless minutes trying to fit smaller extensions to remove one last bolt that was on the insides of both fenders.

After removing the fender I removed the Inter cooler to provide better access to the Radiator support.

Now the next step for me to do is to drain/remove the radiator, plug the remaining hoses and then start drilling out the spot-welds.

I finally found the spot-weld cutter locally. It was at Harbor Frieght all along. I took a quick break during work and ran out there and picked up 2 spot-weld cutter. Regardless of their cheap quality, Im sure these will get the job done.

I will update more as progress continues.

Turns out, that the linux based system I kept thinking about while writing the below post was not UNR, but it was Moblin. This is the netbook system that is set on a fixed resolution of 1024×600 and allows for you to do the basic tasks on a netbook.

Check it out!

The other day I was surfing through my regular tech sites and ran across Ubuntus version of OS for Netbooks.

According to the site: “It includes a new consumer-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily get on-line and use their favourite applications. This interface is optimised for a retail sales environment. “

It is supposed to be a lightweight system specifically designed for netbooks with a fixed resolution of 1024×600, 512MB Ram and 4GB of space.

I just downloaded the 1 Gig Image file and all I need to do now is to copy this image onto a memory stick and see how smooth it runs.

Check out some of the features of UNR as listed on Unbutu’s site:

It was not good.

I was on my way home when some lady of a certain descent decided to stop in the middle of the freeway.

Even with my brakes fully depressed and my wheels locked, I did not have much of a choice but to crash into her. And I did.

My car now has a broken hood, headlights, bent radiator core support, messed up intercooler, bumper etc.. etc..

This calls for major repairs. I am now planning on replacing all these parts to finally now convert my car into what I originally wanted to do:

Kouki Style.

Here is an example of what I want it to look like:

And the work begins!
