    Got my starter tested over the weekend, and it's good. Installed the bellhousing back on the motor and now I need to look into the clutch cable. Seems to be too long. Gotta love projects started by someone else.

    Tore my seats down to take them to the upholstery shop. There were two leather skins on each. Someone just covered the first one. Half was very rusty, I removed the rust and painted.

    Its just a chepo that goes to a mirror that rubber bands over ther rear view mirror. I had it in my Caravan and I liked it a lot. The backup is 1/2 the mirror. When off it reflects rather good. I dont have a mirror right now, so I prob gonna attache this to the arm instead of the actual mirror. I still need to figure out how to hide the wire from the dash up to the mirror.

    Installed the light bezels and the grill after spray canning them a flat black. Rewiring slowly and steadily while also trying to clean up my shop and handle a toddler.
