Finished off the ramps for the rear. Made the trans mount much more enjoyable. Didn't look in too bad a shape.

Vc gaskets, cps and plugs done today.
CPS is a cake walk with vc's off





Once i pulled intake off i realized the whole thing comes off in 1 piece lol

Just noticed this post now, seems the Android head units off 10x the benefits but is pretty expensive iirc by the time you're done?

Brake light switch installed yesterday, easiest thing on this car!

Car keeps robbing me blind, next on the buy list:

• Changeover valve
• New (mint used) windshield cowl
• Front thrust arms & eccentric bolts
• Upper front ball joints
• Trans dip stick & pan gasket
• Misc clips
• Door lock actuator (drivers side machine gunning)
• Subframe mount bushings
• Steering rack mount bushings

$5,100 USD in last 17 months after this.

Still waiting for SBC & airmatic to start giving me problems

Masri87

Do you have the part #'s for the front thrust arms and eccentric bolts? need to replace those too


The head unit was 360$ + 250$ for the avin MOST adapter + 100$ i paid my friend who does this for a living to install it all.

Then i spent a collective 7-8 hrs , rooting the unit, installing a custom rom installing Viper4Android audio drivers etc. etc.

Masri87 - arms are 2113304311A & 2113304411A + bolts 0003300018OE (need 4)
I have read a few people re-using the bolts - would help as they are $70+!

Masri87

wow bolts cost almost as much as the control arms lol

okay sir thank you!

I thought I was the only one (though mine was in 7 months) still ticking away at my "list" congrats on the progress!

Switch out climate control today mine was a little beat up from previous owner. Also glued speaker back to metal housing. The edges were up and speaker crackling a little.
Gross and beat up around the lcd

Gorilla glued this baby back down

Removal was pretty easy. Pry wood trim on left side only. Slide everything to right then pull out.

Hotsauce55

Speaker sound much better with the application of gorilla glue lol

The grill is proving difficult to reinstall. How fricken hard do you need to push to get grill clips to set? I put quite a lot of force on them without success yet.

Swapping windshield cowls today got all new clips. Pretty simple swap but this baby was a MUST HAVE

Old one in disgraceful condition, thanks PO

My cowl and mirror gaskets are in a similar state. :/ was it hard to replace?

Hotsauce55

Without the puller it was going to be hell getting wiper arms off. I got all new clips to make sure it goes in tight. Piece of cake otherwise.

I am replacing the door lock actuator now and these rivets are a PITA.
