  • Started at it debating how to setup the drive system after the lift goes in... Getting ahead of myself, but its good to acknowledge future parts of a project anyway.

        • Bought it off a member months ago...just never got around to installing it til today. It's not a perfect install, but it should work. I installed it using drdan's method of the #8 Dorman license plate kit.

                  Yep, I've got it a bit more scuffed up than you had it. Prepping it for paint Bet you are glad to finally see I did something with it!

                            I did that, helps a lot. Above about 40 you need to really keep an eye on it though. If you make a nice size piece to cover the whole rad, it will fit right in front if it in that lip, and you can slide it back and fourth at a moments' notice. I had the grille blocked 100% of the time though, even in summer.

                            • I had a piece of cardboard on the passenger side blocking the open space and about 3/4 of the radiator. It was slideable to allow uncovering more of the radiator.
                              Never had any overheat issues, though. Even in our mild winters.

                                Unloaded the B3 from the back of my 91' and found that I have a Crank pulley for it, pulled the steel bumper support off to put the cover on it, also realized the belt was off the AC which could be why it wasn't working, also diagnosed It needs a MC, all relatively minor repairs which should be done by the weekend

                                If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
