    Going to say some pics are from when he looked at the car or are from the previous owners. New plates are from when he now owns it.

        I think the Duraweave was most commonly seen in police cars and trucks and such. It didn't show up too much in family cars, though it makes good sense if you want something a little nicer than vinyl but still reasonably child compatible. You do not want velour or leather with kids. Its too much of a pain in the ass to clean.

          Cool, I learned something new today. I always thought my winter wagon just had the cheap seats.

            I guess I haven't stopped into this thread for a bit...
            The car currently has all exterior lighting LED, all interior lighting is LED.
            Of course it's got the sequential front signals, I couldn't just do normal

            Even the headlights are LED.
            I currently have some Cobra wheels on it and just put a new headunit in this weekend, they make the new speakers sound much better.

            I have things to do, this is just some of it.





            I have some new front drop springs and shocks, new rear shocks are coming and I have drop springs for there as well.

              I know it sounds cliche but "they don't make 'em like that anymore"....and they never will again. Always nice to see one in such great condition.
              Couldn't have said it better myself. Definitley liking where you're taking this beast too. She'll be quick, and look the part with those blacked out Cobra rims! Them sequential lights are pretty slick too.

                I had a long weekend so I figured I'd tackle the front suspension(I'm still waiting on a rear shock)
                Yesterday I started and found the source of a clunk

                I gave up after breaking a few saw blades on the upper shock mount on the drivers side.
                I got mostly done today


                I still have to get the passenger side back together but I'm taking tomorrow off to take my nephew to the NY Auto Show so I'll finish tuesday.

                  That will sure make a clunk.

                    They handle much better with functioning sway bars.

                      How are you liking the HD springs?

                      I'm loving mine in my CV. Firm but not abrasive is how I'd describe them.

                        I haven't done the rear but the springs feel good up front, of course the functioning sway bar may be helping.

                          So I had the broken air tube dealt with today, now the smog pump is pumping air to nowhere.
                          I'm not sure if I'll remove the pump now or later(when I swap the heads and do the exhaust) but I will try to route the belt around it to keep it quiet.

                            560K6 belt for just AC IIRC.

                            or 565k6

                              I have the smog delete belt on the way, I'm putting both new belts on when it arrives.
