yeah, they're the crappy flat top su's. i read somewhere that you can modify them to perform better than the round tops, but that obviously doesn't pertain to me. if you want them and the mani, consider them yours.

Nice job! New engine FTW! Theres a ton of space in there to work with, especially with the bumper off.

I cleaned my garage out last weekend about as good as i could get it. I am waiting on my old roommate to come get his damn drums out of there so i can start my 5speed swap. It fits now but i would rather have the room! to move around my car. I am debating on going to carlisle anyone from this area going?

it seems that i get a present every week, it's like an ongoing christmas. i need to order something for next week's delivery. anywho, i came home last night to find my new rear bumper waiting for me. i unpacked it and temporarily put it together.



going to have to drop the gas tank to remove the gas shocks from the old bumper then get some mounts for the new one.
