Hey Ryan, if you call like a glass america or some traveling window repair facility in your neighborhood they will come to your house and install a windshield for usually $175.00.
If you are unsure of who will come out just call a local body shop to see who does all thier glass repairs.
It is just a lot more convenient than dropping your car off at a shop for a day hoping noone messes with it.
Good luck with your restoration, I to wish I had the drive you do cause my cars can use some tlc but after working in a parts dept all day the last thing I want to do is look at a car.

When I had mine replaced it was like $200 and it only took them maybe 30 min to 1 hr to get it done. Thats why you make an appointment and just wait on it. If you can afford it, a new windshield makes it so much easier to see, especially at night with glares from all the scratches.

If the cracks/or chips are blocking your vision, State Farm only makes you pay your deductible.

got the rear for free the first time but the splines are a little tore up... so i sat the axles off to the side and kept the drums as there practibly new.. now im just looking for axles...again...and trying to decide what to do with the front...i really like the idea of the mark 7 rotors but i cant get a stright answer for **** about what else is needed..if its just swap rotors or if calibers ect need to be swaped as well ...then i just go with split 5's...

thats what i think ill end up doing..cheaper on my end.


in the morning since i dont got to work till saturday im going to go out and get some more sanding down....a few areas will end up being snadblasted later on as there pretty ate up ...rust!... te see what were really dealing with...then ill end up cutting the panel out and welding a new one in....

maybe if i get time ill see if i can get out to the junkyard and see if i can find any axles...it would be nice to find someone selling to 5 lug axles for cheap....

Ryan I did some searching and the only way you can run split 5s with mark 7 stuff is to pound the dust cap flat or run no dust cap at all. I am going to napa tomorrow to size it all up and I'm bringing a wheel with me. I'll let you know.

And as far as I know al you need is the rotor, Slow95 and bkcauley say otherwise,but I guess I'll find out for sure when I get my car back!

You bastard taking my split 5 idea

You dont even need to do that.. I test fitted some today.. the depth of the center cap on the split 5's and the 94/95 6cyl wheels are the same... In turn you can run them with out pounding the dust cap..

ebay: r1 concepts.

Best Seller on Ebay for '06 so they should be alright...

60 bucks for 2 OE style rotors plus shipping, which is a bitch b/c they are in Cali.

I am also picking up some 73mm mark calipers off ebay for 40 bucks shipped and if needed I found a 93 cobra MC for 50 bucks OBO.
