Default Today's goals
1st goal, check...pulled the 00 13k 6M out of storage...
2nd goal, check... installed new rotors, pads and powder coated calipers.
3rd goal, check...detail with Chadwick's and took it on the road to bed the pads and have a little fun with the top down and take a couple of pics.
All in all, it was a good day!
