im totaly bummed out about this. after about 50 hours of research and electrical work on my new toy, i found this while hooking up my fuel line.
  its really bad. to the point where i dont think its safe to drive the car.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) do you guys think this is something i should try fix this myself and box it in? im not sure my fab skills are up to the task.... or should i leave this one up to the professionals? is there a shop in so cal. that is competent enough to fix this? forgive my noobieness for not knowing any shops around. i'm not out to insult anyone. i just dont want a hack job. i could do that myself. LOL |

don't be bummed! Happens all of the time. We have two cars in the shop right now that we are installing new ones. We manufacture the piece and sell it to all of the usual suspects, but you will need to drop the engine to install it. If you can weld you can install it. Do not drive the car though!!
