            How to get the U-joint out with the steering coupler so I can change the coupler with the Ireland Engineering one I recently bought. After getting under there I realized I might have to drop the steering rack to get it out, but everyone says you can do it without removal of the steering rack. The DIY that's on E30tech is pretty different from mine. The steering column is different along with the u-joint. Any help is appreciated.

                        It's super easy I think. I would imagine as long as it's clean, you use adhesion promoter and a clear coat it will turn out great. Superior Paint Supply by NAPA right off of 13th S is where I got all of that stuff.

                            CD 6, Track 6! LOL

                            The houndstooth is sitting in my hallway creating a fire hazard! haha. I still have to replace the upper/lower bolsters on the drivers seat (have replacements for it)....and I'm also going to hack the rear bench seat to put port holes for my Lukebox sub I have in there already. I wish I could source an armrest rear houndstooth back, but its' nxt to impossible.

                              You have the Lukebox that fits in the ski bag hole right? I know you wouldn't chop up your rear bench sheet metal.

                              Source another armrest rear, recover the armrest and convert your current one. Justin Merkhofer of EuroInteriors in New York could probably make it happen, and get you rear head rests too.
