I painted my clears with Orange window paint. Worked out great. Im in the hunt for another clear set so I can swap back and forth. Rev.... If you like to trade me your clears for my painted amber lmk. I'll do it.
I thought about doing that myself and just use what I used on my corners. Well since my paint guy is lazy and only did one coat of trim paint I had to touch the bumpers up today. I'll eventually do all the other trim on the car as well, but my lunch break was over. Haha
Got the mileage rolled back up to what I have on my body. I'd been doing my best to keep track since the odometer went out in June/7k miles ago! lol
Also, installed some LEDs in my cluster. I was told I only needed 3.....but I need 4! So I'm waiting on the one I just ordered to come in. lol I went with amber, which is actually not as bright as the original bulb. So I may or may not go for a brighter color or see if they carry any that are a little brighter.
Lookin good Josh! although those gold 16x9's look alot like you old wheels I'm actually up in ATL this week if you wanted to chill or something? itd be nice to swap a few ideas and see the cream machine in person again. PM your number if you can
Haha yep. Since my built trans needs bearings before I'll run it again I may pick up a b16 cable trans with a phantom grip already installed for ~$350. Now to find a way to get it swapped out.
BLAH. So I'm at a crossroad with this problem. I need to go ahead and order a clutch if that's the problem, or buy this trans. But I don't know how to diagnose which of those it would be without dropping the transmission, which is nearly impossible for me given the space I have to work with at home. I was able to wrangle up a loaner car, but I'd hate to pull apart my car and not have the parts to fix it immediately if I was using someone's space.
So in neutral the clutch has to be pushed in for the vehicle to roll. In the bay you can see that the shift linkage is actuating on the outside of the transmission but in no gear will it roll, it just stalls the car out. I was basically going from 3rd to 2nd at about 15mph slowing down to turn into my work parking lot, then all of a sudden there was a loud noise and a little bit of smoke and the car died.
Ah I see...well John's willing to dig into that other trans so I'm ordering a rebuild kit and carbon synchros (since they last forever and they're not to pricey) and having him put it back together. My dad loaned me his Ranger, it sucks to drive but its transportation. lol I can already say after driving the Ranger tonight I really miss my wagon.
Looks like I'm ordering case/shaft/diff bearings and carbon synchros from Synchrotech for my lsd short 1-4 trans. I have my stock flywheel and clutch if that turns out to be the issue, but the lsd trans needed to get rebuilt anyways so I'd rather go ahead and get it right and do hopefully just one more trans swap this year. lol

My buddy Uproot snapped this at work the other day after we did the bumpers.
I was going to sell them, but of course the buyer flaked the day of.
Thanks man, I try. Although it's not perfect I do what I can like anyone else!
Haha, I'm glad it kept you entertained, and thanks for looking!
A few from the Southrnfresh.com 2 meet a few weekends ago. Made a trip to Bedrock today and got a good speedocable from Bam. Thanks man!

Just my opinion though.
