Thanks for the info - I'll keep an eye out on eBay. BTW, do you think you could wrap those shortys if you wanted to?I Timothy 2:1-2

I think they could be wrapped if you were patient!
Quick update....finished the exhaust today...its much quieter than I had anticipated, but thats OK with me...I dont need anything too flashy! And the big bummer...I can't get the car in gear; the clutch won't disengage. I replaced the clutch slave today and rebled a few times to no avail. I think I need to go into the tranny to see what is wrong. I can't believe I'm having a problem like this...I've done so many clutches over the years...ugh. Stand by for updates. I'll upload pics and vid of the exhaust this weekend. I also am determined to actually drive this car this weekend too...keep your fingers crossed!

So, I was a moron and didn't pay attention when installing the clutch and threw the disc in backwards. I re-did the clutch and she drives! Seems silky smooth, but braking is rough and its a bit smoky. I am getting a CEL for the MAF so I will replace it and see if it helps. Updates and more pics to follow. Things in the near future are new brakes, new brake master, new LSD (3.73 is too short for me) and new CABs and CA's.
Stay tuned!
