[AWeb80]

damn i love those rear bucket seats.

You know how hard those are to find that look JUST like that....

...i've been looking for years.

*knows where there's two sets of rear SE gray buckets JUST like that in amazingly good shape*

Not sure what I could get them for though...Fronts aren't that great unfortunately...

Probably won't get to the j-y any time this coming week ,but the week after perhaps. I need to see if the pull strap on the rear console is the same as in my CS.

For those who following this we have on today's menu for repairs and upgrades:

New KYB G2 struts all 4 corners
New KYB bump stops and bellows in the rear
91 Z34 14 mm swaybar upgrade (why not for $8 bucks at the yard)
New parking brake cables left and right along with new GM adjuster
Rebuild the rear calipers AGAIN since the parking brake f'd up the drivers outer pad, see picture.
New Raybestos rear pads on both sides.

Enjoy

is that jack your using the 3000lb one. if so they suck and dont get too attached to it they dont last long.
i went through like 3 of them and i barely used them. first one leaked all the oil out while doing my engine swap, second one leaked too, third one didnt even get to use it wouldnt lift. i said screw it to the sears guy and told i wanted a different model.

It is the 3 ton model so that is about 6000 lbs. I go big or I go home

I have had it for over 1 year and I use it a lot. Best jack I have ever had. Works fine for me...so far!!

Nice work

I love that car.

[3100 MPFI]

looks bad, but getting better.

Best jack I have is an ACDelco 2.5 ton floor jack. I LOVE that thing.

you dont like the white car oh well I do! Yeah broken struts are fun, so are crappy parking brakes which fail then the car comes hurling down a hill into my cobra cracking the front bumper. Yeah that was a good day I almost lost my legs when the cobra jumped back 2 feet and pinned me against my tool box. Yeah the white car can be a b1tch sometimes.....

[geldartb]

ouch that sucks

at least your ok

[CobraCDR]

ther was a time when I used to drive around with a spare alternator....Oh those halcyon days....

I have a spare alternator, coils, module, o2, tps, Map and coolant sensor in the trunk now. After 2 weeks ago I want to be able to fix this stuff wherever I am......

[CobraCDR]

ouch that sucks

at least your ok

Tell me about it........

[geldartb]

i take it from the pic it was pretty much a dead on hit.

shitty parking brakes FTL. i dont trust any parking brake no matter how good it holds the car.
ive gotten so use to working on a flat level concrete floor, thats pretty much the only thing ill jack my car up on unless its a flat section of pavement.
getting squished under a 3000lb car is not up there on my list of things to do.
