Update!

Got the drive shaft in, fan wired up, and the shifter is working right.

Went to bleed the brakes and the bleeder screw snapped off the rear calipers.. they were SO FUCKING TIGHT.. it doesnt make sense that they were soo tight. I put some pb blaster on em. But they still broke. Oh well, new caliper time in the rear.

Just get some metal, bend it into that shape and I or spencer can weld it up for you!

Yeah I was going to ask you if you could help me weld it!

So, I took out my carpet awhile back because my sunroof has a SMALL leak when it rains HARD and my carpet was getting a little wet behind the passenger seat. So i didnt want to get any rust forming... well.. I just found this today..

It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to repair.


On a positive note, I got my shifter in!
