Well, I sent her to the mechanic for the 3sgte today. I miss her already, but I have to say, I am excited. These are going to be a long few weeks.

Jay, I'm jealous- first vert with a 3s. DG sells fender struts I believe- and I'd look into those- BTW, have you checked out our rear bracing? IMHO it doesn't look strong enough- but a PITA to replace.

Jay, do you mind passing on those diagrams?
Yea. Sure. I have them scanned and was planning on posting them but they are huge. Maybe I could email them to Coom and he could make them a sticky or something. Coom?

i know how you feel...i miss my car too. been doing the swap for about 1 month now, and have been without my car for about 2 weeks.
its a lot of work and takes a long time to do when you are doing it on your own.
