oh yeah!! my kind of seat.....now remove that damn ugly dirty moisture trapping rust forming carpet and do a nice truck bedliner floors :)




you can see in my restoration build... I primed first...tremclad...and then Truckliner (in this pic you can see how it looks I started with the rear) lots of advantages to it...

Well this thread has been inspiring, I've been looking for a good way to grenade my auto trans before I swap it, seems a 2.7i Turbo build fits the bill. Great work!

It actually never really broke, it just sucks so much compared to a manual. Slush boxes they are.

Damn TACO your car looks amazing man! Love Da wheels...I think I made my choice. What make, size are they front and rear? using any spacers? Are those kamotors nomal flairs or extra wide?

They are str wheels, 514 I think. 17x9s. I got them from str directly, If you call them ask for mike he is the cool guy.
They are his normal flairs, don't think he is making them anymore though, and I am using a 10mm spacer in the front. Nothing in the rear.

Havent addressed either, Its either I get a new subframe or weld in a new mount for the passenger side of the subframe.
Wheel bearing is no problem but Im still not sure how Im going to get this fixed.

Lookin' good!

So did you ever address that sway bar linkage issue that caused ride height to be all wonky?

Or will you get to that when you're in there doing the wheel bearing?
