    paint problems

    I talked to my local auto paint guys about this problem after I started having some trouble with my bumpers, not long after I painted the car. They said one way to go was to add a elasticizer to the paint and primer which allows the primer/paint to flex with the polyurethan bumpers/ground...

    AOD to T5 swap - Everything that is needed?

    I forgot to add that the driveshafts are the same length. You can use the AOD driveshaft, just be sure that the balancer clears the tailshaft seal on the tranny.

    painting

    I painted my 88 with very hardly ever having touched a spray gun before, and though it came out far from perfect, it wasn't half bad, and I never even cut and buffed it. I have painted a few things since then and keep getting better, it is all about practice. Don't expect a perfect finish your...

    reverse lights after a 5 speed swap?

    The speed sensor (the black plastic thingy) from your AOD will work in the T5, I used mine when I swaped. One thing to check is the speedometer gear, the AOD gear is probably not going to be the right one for your T5 and that will throw your speedometer off. As far as the back-up lights go...

    Clutch pack kit question

    I'm not positive, but I think that all the kits are basicly the same. You can make the possy stiffer by getting as many clutch disks in as possible, but if you try to many you might not be able to get the spring back in. When I rebuilt mine, it was a PITA to get the spring in, I had to use a...

    Broken fuel level sender?

    The AS module is on the back of the instrument cluster, so you can check it and the guage at the same time. My guage has been out since I bought the car about almost 5 years ago, and yes I've run out of gas a few times :doh: I replaced the module and guage with ones from my parts car and...

    Home made paint booth?

    I'm planing to build a pvc booth when I paint my truck, using the thickest plastic I can find, probably some of the 6 mill that Ace has and staple it to some 1x2 strips of wood, then screw it to the pipe. I think pvc would be easier to disassemble and store, as long as you don't glue all the...

    Possible Tweaked Vert (Need Advise)

    I really don't see how it could be the frame as well since it has never been hit. The only thing I was worried about was that the flex, because its a vert, might have translated into some permenent tweaking. But I'm thinking that the hinges are the most likely culprit since if they are even a...

    Possible Tweaked Vert (Need Advise)

    Ok here's my problem, I am hoping to get the vert back on the road soon and want to get my MM subframes welded in soon thereafter. But I'm worried that the body is tweaked because the doors are not lining up with the body at the back of the door, the driver side door is in a little while the...
