IT'S HERE!!!!

After 3 weeks of waiting paitently (NOT!)
230 mi without so much as a huccup, and on a half tank of gas no less. That with *ahem* a FEW full throttle blasts to well over the limit. My wife THOUGHT she'd play with me in her Leggy
This car is smooth, fast, and WELL worth the $800 I paid for it.
Pics to follow tomorrow evening.

Thanks one more time for your paitence Huck.

Here's the pics I was actually able to get from my misbehaving camera.


Gotta love Huck's engineering on that airbag cover


ULTRA clean engine bay


EG33 EG=Evil Grin

Not bad for 242k/mi on it's ORIGINAL engine and trans.

P.S. Huck I told you my driveway was uphill

I'll post more pics tomorrow, now that I've figured out how to work with my wounded camera.

Cool Paul....
I can tell you that in the last 2 years That we've replaced...
Both back spindles/wheel bearing with good ones from my parts car.
Driver's side front spindle and wheel bearing with a god one from my parts car.
The front right axle with a new one.
The radiator
And we moved the spoiler to the rear.
And replaced the front right fender inner liner with one from my parts car.
new valve cover gaskets (last month)

Thats all I can think of right now....

I'd recomend changing the front and rear diff grease, and tranny fluid...as I don't think Alex ever changed the diff grease, and has probably been 60k since he changed the tranny fluid.

Thanks for the heads-up Huck
Here's the pics from today:






Polished my headlights yesterday, they work MUCH better! I work 3rd shift (11pm-7a) so I'm ALWAYS driving in the dark. Look at the engine bay pic above, they were a bit yellow.
more pics here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1/1to1%20cars/
Oh yeah, don't beat me cause my front wheels are on backwards!
