    really nice progress, car is looking great.

    my only gripe is the black door pulls, i always think the tan ones look better on tan door panels.

      Well, the thing with the the tan door pulls is that they tend to fade and age different colors. More often than not, they look like 2 different colors. I was kind of second guessing myself putting it in, but it flows nicely in the car. Plus, they don't look faded.

                very nice car. its come a long way. go METRIC MECHANIC:) 8k r3vlimiter, or look into an itb set-up. euro grills and smilies would complement the front nicely imo.

                      I have finally put my electric fan in my car. The setup I used is the older Volvo 940 electric puller fan and the shroud for that same fan. I cut the plastic shroud on the side and it pretty much fits my radiator perfectly.



                      I attached the shroud to the radiator by drilling holes into the top lip of the radiator, then I used bolts and lock nuts to secure the shroud to the radiator.



                      As far as the fan to the shroud.. it just pretty much slides right into the shroud and I held it in place with a couple of bolts.


                      I purchased an electric fan wiring kit thing from autozone.. did not tap into any of the existing wiring, just ran a power wire to the fuse box where it attaches to a relay. We put a temperature probe in through the radiator so when it reaches 185 degrees the fan kicks on. Ran another wire over to the AC so that if I turn on my AC it automatically kicks the fan on high (whether or not the radiator is warm or not). Needless to say, the fan is killer.. it cools my whole engine bay and I can stay in traffic with AC blasting and not go over 1/2 on the temp gauge.. highly recommend this fan!

                      Also, in the last few months I have replaced my throttle cable, cam position sensor, deleted my power steering, new radiator.. etc etc.. I can hardly keep track of the shit I've done with this car.

                      Random:



                      Thanks for looking!
