Nice work! However, I would have suggested that you re-build the whole deck - so as you don't have to come back in a couple of years and do that section.
(no, I haven't checked the price of lumber lately) Seriously, you may consider adding another elbow to the downspout to direct the runoff water away from the wooden steps. |

NOPE! I was expecting to hear from them before I left work… but nothing, so just went to the parts/service spot & picked up my ordered & left. Called local shop (I get few things done) made an appointment for next week. It’s about $100/hr estimating 5~7hrs work.

I woke up w the news of my friend Bob Watanabe passing away. That’s not the news I wanted to wake up with. I’m shocked and saddened. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Had a chance to see him in person several times (at the event and at Seattle). He had his weird quirks, but he's def a good guy at heart. He/Drift-Office is one of the first vendor helped out with 86EXPO. I was one of the first guy that almost wrecked his 86 as well

Thank you. I'm saddened, but I'll be fine. I feel like Northwest/West Canada 86/BRZ owners and car fans will be more saddened me. He was big part of that community.

I never had the opportunity to deal with Bob, but I know a lot of people who had and he was well respected in the area. Sorry to hear of his passing.

No, no glasses on the only one I would have considered hot. No bra either though.

After reading one thread, for shits and giggle I checked to see how much my car is worth trading in. In Carvana, it said $14,399. After 7yrs owning this car, value dropped down near $20k less than How much I paid for. Do I care? Nah, I'll try to drive this sucker much as I can til I feel like I need another coupe car... or other coupe car that interest me.

2013 with 180,000 miles will get you $4,732. I'd rather go enter it in a demolition derby or go to a high school and find some needy kid and give it to them before I took that, even though that probably is what it's worth.

Your FRS is one of the original one, so it's the lightest FRS ever made (for US). It's something like 35~70lbs lighter than '13 model. I would assume it'll be worth more than that... but again, only 86/BRZ fans will know those small infos.
