Cloth and leather door cards are soo much better than the all leather ones. Especially the ones I had.

Need to go junking to get me a nice knee bolster and some speaker kick panels. Maybe some OEM footwell speakuhz.

Approximately 1.5 years now. Waves man. Waves. Don't regret it except that my girl lives in Berkeley and my projects are in Sacramento. Just another reason to head up north regularly I suppose.

Hey Spencer, what are the odds your thermostat is stuck? That could explain your overheating. If it doesn't open, you don't get the required water flow and you end up with a percolating engine. The temp gauge stays on the cool side because there isn't enough flow moving around.

Just a thought.

This could be possible, but I did replace the thermostat housing and thermostat during this whole project, it's either something to do with the sensors/wiring that go to the thermostat or I have an air leak somewhere up by my heater core, or I just suck all together and have another blown HG.



@eric thanks man, I just hope it all goes through! The seller seems cool and I told him I'm very interested and not to sell them to someone else.

yeah I am pretty sure I did. Its been eating coolant the last 2-3 months....

Unless I have a crack in the head...But I don't think so. I plan to pull it as soon as the rain passes.... I need to swap the timing belt while I am at it and water pump not fun :(

WP/TB is a 3.5h job. a HG is a 4 day job. asking me how many times i've changed that...

bought the car with a leaky gasket.
replaced that with VR shit - never again. and i did a full engine rebuild.
that HG leaked, replaced that with BMW and ARP studs.
