Oh yeah, it is November! Dho! So the car has been in the garage since August due to a small electrical (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) issue.

I turned into a mini DW so 'while is was inther' I fix or repaired:
Upgraded to new style engman fuse panel
Upgraded to heavy duty relays for upgrade lites and driving lights
new stereo
New (to me) amp
New Morph speakers
re wired wiper circuit
upgrade review mirror (good kit you should get one if you replace you windshield)
new windshield
glued in rear window (no more rattle)
por15 bare spots under seats
New targa seal
Por 15 the back trunk floor
redo VDO gauges (just dont like center consoles.)

So I went for my first drive three months, top off of course, and it was great! Horn shorted out and took the blower with it but it was a successful drive none the less.

now on to the ugmo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Could you tell more about rear view mirror upgrade? What and where to get? I just glued in my window, and am ready to install the rear view, so now would be a good time to know this. Thanks, JoeO

I snapped a secret spy pic of Dino and his car. Someone from SoCal told me that moss only grows on the north side of PNW cars. I think it's all part of a WCR08 conspiracy. But then again, they may be on to something.
