  • Loaded to the brim!

    Last week I saw a good deal on CL on shop lights for my shop... 2' x 4' shop lights... so i got 12 of them in the festiva, plus light covers.

    Had my back seat out anyway, put the passengers seat in a co-workers vehicle for the evening, and went and got my lights...

    I literally drove 35 miles in that position on the highway- had to be careful as I couldn't see out the passenger mirror.

    -Escort GT 91 donor car with BP, G5M-R tranny to be dropped in the little guy...

    I did the same thing with insulation for the attic once and beer cans I picked up after a rock concert. Couldn't see out the back or passenger side.

                          t12s come in bi-pin 4' lol. Those bulbs wont be available in a few years because of tree hugger government legislation. It will say on the ballast if they can run t8s. If they have bulbs in them the easiest way to tell is t12 = 1.5" dia and t8s = 1" dia
