928SS, That looks like a crackhead stimulus plan.

Sorry guys, I haven't viewed this thread since I had posted. I don't have any pics (Thank the lord!) Anthony, not sure I beat you out on a bid as I hit the BUY IT NOW button at $14.99 for the pair. They are 7" and though they work great, it just makes my Euro look worse. If someone wants them, they can have them...you pay shipping. They probably look OK on the right color car...mine is silver.

I took the 8" H4's off my 85 and replaced the yeller ones on the Euro...much better looking

Your right I read it wrong I was looking at the yellow fogs. Figured they would work on Amazon green.

a factory windshield. duh. what a waste. only lasted 9 mos before it was pitted/thx to living on an asteroid. chinese glass only installed by crackheads now...
a modified airbox from another lister. looked like a crackhead built it. didn't fit, wound up in the trash
a used wiring harness... then I rebuilt it. then I bought a new one after spending countless $$ wondering why the car would just quit out of the blue. fugging crackheads.

a power steering pump. of course, doc brown told me just to R&R the res and filter thingy. but noooo... mr smartass had to get the pump too.. but I did the res only cause I was overwelmed w/laziness. guess what? no more noise and it works like new... how did he know that? did someone slip some crack into my head??

latest folly - a custom shifter boot. 4 attempts that looked like a blind crackhead did it for $185. now I've got one ordered from paul champaign for 75.00 that will undoubtedly be fine.

I've done a great job of keeping crackheads employed and high though.

Great post Rob!

Just doesn't seem right using the words "crack head" and "windshield" in the same sentence.

An oil change! My car leaked so bad all I needed to do was keep adding oil and change the filter once in a while.

Leaks have been fixed

Car cover. I never use the damn thing becasue I love the drive the car, plus I park it int he garage. I bought the car to drive, so why cover it up. When it gets dirty, I wash it... whatever, it was like $30 and dosn't fit quite right anyway.

I guess it's got to be the CF hood. It's a bit fit-challeneged, but I think I can make it work. The question then becomes... why?
Mine collects dust standing in the garage
