I've pulled my Q off the road to fix "that" funky sound we heard in Indiana and have decided to do another major overhall. This Overhall will include replacing the entire AC system and almost every component thereof, replacing all the pulley bearings, messing with my 2nd 4:08 rearend project, getting my wiring system working (door locks, memory positions, power antenna, checking all fuses etc...), finally installing the wood dash trim kit, adj tension rods and checking other suspension parts. That's more than likely just for starters. I think I will go ahead and paint the Q as well myself, but will change the color to a deep midnight blue or deep purple color. That means body work and I really don't like sanding that much. At least when I'm done I can say I did it all myself .

This will take me a while as I'm a slow DIY'R and tend to get frustrated causing the surrounding area to be engulfed in curses and bad language! Then I ALWAYS get sidetracked and start on other stuff in the middle of finishing something else.

Plus I'm over in the Dodgeforum helping the Neon guys and selling parts off my 3 Neon parts cars and Seabring engines and trannys. Got lots on E-bay and have to make crates to send off some other engines, so It'll be awhile before I go screaming down the road in the Q. I've been rained out over the last 5 days so I haven't been able to start my new projects, but it looks like sunny days for awhile.

Plus I like that moving the oil filter thing, so I might have to do that too.....

Hey did you ever fix that shimmy? Mine seemed to disappear, maybe because the tires arent warmed up.

Redmanfx, You know anyone that needs a convertible cover from a 2000 Sebring? I think they fit 97-01? Have one that was in storage when ours was totaled. Would love to get rid of it and haven't gotten around to Ebaying it.

It mostly went away, but I still have a little one which is part of the reason I'm going to be looking at the suspension again because some it is original still.

No problem. Sorry I took so long sending it. I thought I had also got them to print an actual label from the bottle itself, but I can't seem to find it. It would go over the original label. I'll keep looking for that. I think personalized nick nats are COOL and tend to mean a little more

No I don't, but I'm sure someone out there does. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute selling that on eBay!! That's a high dollar item that I've seen request for in the past, but just not right now. I wish I had it to sell being it's that time of year right now!!

With a plate that full, save the dashboard wood trim kit for last.

I admire your dedication. Everytime I see mine, I don't see anything else I really like better. I saw my first Porsche Cayman yesterday, and it is really cool, but too small except for commuting and short road trips. And for $80 large, lots else I could do.
