      Did you trim the rear bumper to fit per Jordan's write-up?

                    Yeah, I trimmed the rear bumper per Jordan's write up, plus a little figuring out that you have to do on your own. Overall, not that hard, to make it look absolutely perfect, pretty hard I imagine. The car runs awsome, odometer stopped working at 190k I think, so it's probably got about 220k on it. I don't have to add oil between changes, it doesn't use any. I'm thinking about going down to the boneyard this weekend and picking up a 4.10 lsd to replace what I have. That's probably it for mods for a while, until I feel like doing/getting some bodywork done. After that, the motor project will start.

                          11/83 and back = 3.64
                          11/83 and up = 3.91

                          I like that car, especially with the budget.

                            i have a yakima roof rack and it doesnt weigh but around 25 pounds. the bars that run across are the heavyest. i can hear it humming in the wind when i hit around 65. i can tell it slows me down. ive had my bike on there going 120. it roars threw the wind.
