Re: Rear trans/engine support bracket missing/sheared bolts

I'm assuming it's a sheared bolt. I want to avoid installing 2 out of the three only for both of them to shear. The single bolt le...

Re: Parting out cars online etc or just send them to the junkyard?

ETM and the ECM on the T5, MAF, you already mentioned the blend door motors but the control modules are items of interest, blo...

Re: Valvoline Restore & Protect for 850?

Back when it was just 'My Car'

Came back from my Adventure in the Pacific, stumbled over a lightly wrecked '69 1800, fixed it and put 500,000 miles on it, no mercy shown whatsoever. Never left me walking. Death by rust in the front frame rails behind the steering box - back when they were just old used cars and there wasn't much ...
