Well...I decided my other projects and hobbies deserved a little recognition as well, so I made a special page just for them. I dont have many pictures right now but I will take some more soon.

My '02 Yamaha TTR125L...it has a few goodies:
-BBR exhaust
-BBR air filter (cut out air box)
-Bigger idle and main jet to accomodate for more air flow
-BBR engine cradle
-BBR Chain guard
-O-ring chain
-Bark busters
-Dunlop tires

I'm sort of growing out of this bike but its still fun to ride.

My parents bought this 1976 Sea Ray SRV 193 back in the late 70's, we last took it out as a family 6 years ago...it has a GM 250 straight 6 engine with 165 horses, not too fast but it does what it needs to...Since I turned 16 I decided I would go and bring it home. Heres a list of what was wrong with it:
-Tires had rotted off the trailor
-Axle grease had turned to water
-Can you say DIRTY?!
-Clogged fuel line
-Messed up wiring
-Carburetor needs a rebuild
-Hopefully thats all...

hey about the wheels on your car i saw a comment you posted a long time ago about these wheels saying you were looking for them, well i have the same wheels and i was planning on having them fixed how much did it cost you to have yours re polished and do you know where i could get a center cap for them.

I am restoring one with same color combo., Champange w/pearl white interior. Want to keep mine original, sell me your white interior if you are to replace it with black.

Love the car! I'm picking up a '78 Z this week and plan to do some work on it. The paint is shot but the body and engine are solid.

Nice Z Chris, I have a 78 280 and live about 1.5 hours east of Nashville. Still working on getting mine painted before spring, it is completely in primer at the present. I like the silver color yours has, but I think I will go back the original wine red. The company I work for has a sales office in Brentwood and I drive down about twice a month. I plan on driving the Z down a few times when the weather fairs up, so maybe I will see ya around Nash Town in the Z.

Take care!

Love your car. Hope you're still progressing. Have you completed the swap to black interior? If so, I may b interested in buying the white interior pieces.
