Default Did it myself!! Woo-hoo!!!

OK, so not the most difficult mod in the world, but considering I'm not a mechanic or real magician with cars, I'm proud nonetheless. Of course, I would be wrong to not publicly thank TacoBill for his amazing How-to guides!!

I just finished installing Moleskin on my windows and aside from some sore fingers working the door panel on and off, it came out great. Again, not the most complex thing, but a nice confidence builder as I start looking at doing more things myself.

Hey Rogan01 - need someone to install your moleskins?

Great job. Interestingly, I just replaced a brake light bulb.. you have to take the whole damn light assembly off to do it.
For some reason.. on these cars.. it's harder to change the bulbs (fogs are a PIA) than it is to many other things that people would be weary to do.

My license plate light went out.. Or so I thought. Got looking and found out the wiring went bad! Luckily I was able to not completely remove the back bumper and get my hand up there to wrap electrical tape around a short that had occured, should be good for now. [:@]


07Pony, great!

He,he, axle backs to supercharger is quite a jump. I did axlebacks, lowering springs + rear control arms(upper and lower), panhard bar, torque limiters, engine mounts(swapped those back though) and CAI before I even thought about installing a supercharger Edit: forgot to add 1 piece driveshaft. You have ***** my friend.

Next up is installing a new clutch and flywheel, but that won't be till next year sometime.
