Wow, so a lot has happened since I last updated. On the way to get the window fixed, the car overheated. It turns out the radiator was clogged up and the cap was trashed. So I bought a new radiator, new radiator cap, and a new fan shroud. And my alternator died on me so I bought a reman. one from Bennett Auto Supply.

I also changed my master cylinder as that went on me also. I replaced it with a brand new Aisin one. I'll be in North Carolina from the 2nd to the 8th so the car is going into the shop next week while I'm away. I'm getting 4 new tires on it, a new rear window, and a new non cracked dash board.

It's pretty severly cracked. As you can see.

Here's a better picture of my dash and A/C LED conversion. The tach is only half lit. My temp gauge LED went out for some reason and I've been too lazy to pull it out to see what happened. Otherwise, the whole cluster is a bright color.

And heres a short clip of run down a local street. Open downpipe at 8 psi.

And lastly, a picture my girlfriend took...

I'll have pictures of the new tires, windows, and dash when I get the car back. And I'll finally get to put my hatch sunshade back on.

so you spendin all this dough, you got a new job?

Lol I'm only buying the tires. And I'm buying them at cost so it's still not much money. The rear window is free. It's good to know people in high places, lol. But to get the money for the tires, I tiled a garage floor. So I got that and then some. It still wasn't worth it, lol. I'm putting the car in the shop when I get home so I can monitor what's going on. I'm getting quite a bit of work done to it besides the tires and windows which I will post here when it gets done.
