We have some major changes in Team Deathwish!

So, unfortunately, John will not be able to do the rally. After thinking really hard (not really), I was thinking, who would throw themselves into a fire without any remorse? One name came to mind, my other half Asian, KEVIN MCCABE! The Korea/German/English and the Japanese/Irish unite to form one full Asian scampering across Africa. After his quick response of, "Yeah, I will do it!" he started working on our brochure. CHECK OUT OUR NEW BROCHURE
Besides that, I will be approaching a few companies on Wednesday for sponsorship and free goodies.
PS. Please share this brochure with as many people as you can. It would mean a lot. Thanks

Junk yards, driving, rain and spiders.

So, last Friday I picked up my spring rebuild kit for the VW since they didn't have any in stock. Saturday, I went to Interstate Used Parts and they had a great selection of VW parts. I picked up a gas tank, front Baja bumper, steering block, pedal assembly and two tires (w/ no tread) for $125. Good stuff, he gave me a deal and said the next time I came in he would hook me up, provided, I bring in a brochure and slap a sticker on the car with his company logo on it. I got back fairly late in the afternoon and proceeded to get the brakes all set. The drums, I had taken to a shop to get machined but they were too far out of spec that I need to get new ones. So, another thing to order. It rained all Sunday so I couldn't work on the deathtrap. Thats where I am at now. I will be ordering more parts tonight and thinking about what else needs to be ordered. NEED the brochure finished. Might just make it myself.
