Looking forward to the tranny being buit too. 4th & 5th syncro's were very worn. They have the transfer case as well - no issues with it but it does have 145k on it and its out already.

Need it to be the right temps around here so we can paint it...maybe in a month or so... I bought the paint from dipyourcar.com they gave me like $30-35 worth of points for in store credit... so I bought some prep spray and sealer with those points.

Someone PM'd me about which axle I used. Oreilly Auto Parts MasterPro Select CV with a lifetime warranty. Same length, same splines, boots are high quality. Been running hard on it with no problems. I still have the OEM one that has a busted boot and exploded internals just in case. There is a local axle shop that will rebuild it but they wanted $100. Oreilly was $80. OEM list is $650...

Are you dipping the engine bay too or just the outside? In for results!

Car has gave you some trouble lol. Did you buy this from a guy named Charles? If so, I kinda no him, hes more of a friend of a friend. I remember that god awful front bumper lol

Looks like you are taking it in the right direction though! Good luck!

Nah, I'm just painting the outside. I have some black to paint the lip, mirror trim, wiper arms and wiper cowl.
