        • Installed Rear 12v plug.

          7/8 hole saw is perfect to keep the plug nice and tight in the hole


          Testing Wiring


          And completed.

            The engine is coming out Saturday for the new clutch I have. I'm going to try to get some tensioners replaced on it and maybe water pump just for the heck of it. might as well do it now while it's out. The engine bay is getting all fresh new blue paint and I started moving some electrical components and rerunning wires. The valve cover is getting the same paint on the car. Haven't decided if I want to put back the old windshield wiper system yet. I thought about converting the bottle to a rad over flow bottle. Still have some work to go.

                • I dropped the engine at the yard and started pulling parts that weren't messed up from that wreck for my auto to manual swap in my gray car. Today I got the manual plate for block-to-trans and I got the entire flywheel, clutch and pp and all bolts and starter for 33 bucks. not to mention...I pulled about 5-8 pounds of bolts that they didn't charge me for.

                  I also moved some parts to a new row that I'll wait for an all you can carry lol

                  and there is a sho here at cunningham brothers pns brand new row!

                                we need to start a self-help group! the front half of my Aspire brake swap has languished since April of '07. Probably didn't mean that type of swap, though?
