    Does your donor have the power passenger seat lumbar support button surround plastic? My switch works, but the plasic surround that clips/fits into the seat base down on the side is screwed/half broken and hanging out on my '03 ultimate.

    I don't really care if the colour matches or whatever, I'd just like to have it back in its proper place.

          Both seats have lumbar. Pass side is kinda hard to get to at the moment as I have a car parked right up against the other car. Are those covers same on driver and pass side? Either way if it's intact you can have it. Just pay the shipping. The interior color is light flint if I am not mistaken.

            I don't even need the switch but I'll take the whole thing if it's easier to just yank it and unplug the switch wiring. I can get a pic tomorrow if you want to see mine where the clip into seat part is broken. It may help give an idea how to yank properly. Thanks man.

              So I did a thing. Spent all day ripping body off the frame today of the donor car. Not high up enough yet to be able to roll the frame out but getting close. Got tired and called it a day. Will finish pulling it later.

                I vote you put the whale body on the box frame.

Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

                  Not gonna have Whale body long enough. As soon as I pull the frame I am yanking any other parts that interest me and scrapping the body. I am doing this in my 2 car garage and barely have enough room to move my skinny ass around the cars.

                    I noticed real estate is at a premium in your garage.

                    What are you gonna do with the box frame? Scrap it?

                      I really hate scrapping the box frame as it's mint. So, perhaps there is someone who needs one?

                        Would be a real shame to scrap it.

                                Donor frame is out. Tomorrow I will attempt to lower the body onto the ground without killing myself. Then I will finish stripping it off and get it hauled away for scrap. After that I can start working on the box.
