Also, anyone interested in buying a slightly used and damaged front bumper cover can check out my auction on eBay. It isn't TOO bad considering it's no reserve. Hey! Anyone interested in helping me pull the engine/transaxle sometime this spring? I'll supply the BEER and bull! lol I have a long list of items to complete here and could definately benefit from experienced help! I'd buy a Quaife if anyone might enjoy that! Thanks...
