LMAO!!!
Yeah I hear that! Buy a dash carpet cover and fix the diff.
Yip shipping eats me alive, for instance, I'm needing bucket seats for my Challenger, no biggie right? wrong, the seats are expensive, usually around $350-$500 US But shipping is about the same price again! I've had two different owners of seats quoted at $1,200 USD!!!
So I'm looking for the BEST offer and it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet.
Oh well, I'm only doing it once, well......for a little while anyway.
I feel for you mate, thats a fair drive 55 miles, I get upset thinking about my car in the shop and thats only 5 minutes away!
Sounds like a fun car, any plans for dropping a big block in or maybe another small block - 340? 360? The 318 sounds like it's plenty quick, light the hides pretty damn quick I'll bet!
Well your a good bloke mate, all the best for the months/years ahead - keep me posted and I'll ditto that right back at ya.........
Cheers,
Carl
