you wouldn't catch me dead at either dealer to be honest with you....especially Roberts.

I just did it on my 95 back in Nov. It is super easy to do Andyjo. If you can figure out the AWD switch this is a total piece of cake. I know a way around the 4 wire and 2 wire brake switch that makes it so you won't need the switch and you won't have to fiddle with taking the old one out etc....and it only requires a jumper. Hint: look at the colors of the wires in the 2 wire sw. and look at the colors of the wires in the 4 wire plug...the colors they don't have in common make a jumper between and poof!!!!!! it works (make sure in a controlled environment just to be safe! If you find you have a heck of a problem getting the vac hose out of the engine manifold (or the square thingy on your engine) there is a way around this too. Cut it off at the engine and hook the vac line into the brake booster line for vac. Do it the right way if you can but if it is stripped like mine was go with "plan B" Your biggest prob. is going to be getting the sw out of the steering wheel. Go buy or borrow the security torx drivers for doing that. When you put the sw in your wheel you will replace the wire harness that is in there (basically you end up with a little extra harness) Save all screws from disassembly..you might and most likely will need them. (for the sw in the wheel there are no screws in there to use so you need them) Any probs. let me know....(or Chris for that matter) matt (BTW...I did it for $20)

we did all the quotes with ins. (so they were high) he thinks the 75 could be taken to the terminal in Boise so that one would be term. to term.

72 and 75 for the return trip.... also keep in mind...linden is 143 miles from andrew's home. and we are figuring the dolly would cost $100 to rent....and he is going to have to make 2 trips.

it is in scio. I did the automated thing that DAS offers on their site. The problem is that we told them it runs and it does but the brakes are bad so loading is going to be interesting.... See what you come up with for him. I also said about getting a 26' uhaul and putting it inside and going to ID and putting that one inside too (minor bumper removal etc etc.) If he was to go the uhaul route he can't get smalled than the 24' b/c of weight capicity. he could get the 24' and put one in and one on a dolly.... Many options here...and none of them are cheap. Matt

are you sure it is a bad tranny and not a broken axle? I would hate to see you buy a tranny and it only be a broken axle. Check your front axles!!!!!!!!

so may I ask how is it going to get to CT and when is it getting there????

yeah those are like the mats for my OB that I had. Give it a few winters and see how your carpet looks in the foot wells and you'll see what I mean. Matt

the chick doing the brakes did good in my book....but the jack that used a crow bar to put belts on must have a few screws loose...

I thought you were going to say someting bad happend to bucky???? Windshields aren't a biggie to me...I've bought 4 maybe in my life so far. If it isn't too bad let it go till spring then take the w/s out yourself and get some body work done...then have the glass wizard come out the next day and put a new one in for ya. Shoot I thought you were going to say the valve covers were leaking oil or something...I know that guy that did them was slightly worried... *whisle* nothing to see here.... Take a deap breath and have a smoke....its all good!

I am sad to hear you are moving on but I applaud your hard work and grit you put into the ea82t series engine. Welcome to the other side....your gonna love it here.

dude a justy and the 73 would be really kick a**!

....but thanks anyhow Andrew! I guess I need to see some of the new style ones....it sounds like quite an improvement.

83 GL still in winter storage till Feb. 28th... only a month and a few to go... Really missing that little fella. I try to visit it every other night or so...atleast it has an SVX to share its rental space with.

I had those all weather mats in my 02 OB and I hated them. I like something that protects the capet a little better on the sides and those mats do nothing for that. I had someone offer me some for my old OBS and I flat out turned them down and they were even FREE!!!!:-p

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :headbang:

keep me in mind....mine is ok but a spare would be cool to keep around...

Grey? you thinking about maybe doing grey? like the interior of my 83 Gl?

I have a pic. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. I'm not going to waste the bandwidth here to post it. Matt

I went to new ringgold yesterday....nothing to speak of there. I really wasn't happy with the place either. I scored (if you want to call it that) a lock that you put into an ea-81 gas door os that it is locking. I don't know if it was dealer installed or aftermarket but it fits great! Now I need to get a key made for it.

gary: does tapper still have the wire harness off that car he stripped? Might save you some time if it happens to be the right harness. Just a thought, Matt

why don't you gut both cars and swap harnesses between the cars?

honestly when I am tired....i crank the tunes and drive faster. I know it isn't very smart but it works. When we drove the stick LGT I was surprised by how quiet it was too. Those cars are great. If your really worried...drive the 95 and keep the miles low on the LGT Matt

both of them are such nice cars. I think you'll enjoy the new ride though. Matt

I remember that commercial....that was a hella cheesy commercial. Good for you on the education. Maybe some of the younger board members will read this and think a little.... Waiting on pics from tonight... Matt
