It's up:banana: http://www.treemo.com/users/r_kirky/channel/item/224884/ First video on my new camcorder I am still figuring out my software. I think I need to compress it differently (looks very grainy) Sorry Caboobaroo I missed the hill jump and to everyone else I left out. Don't worry by next year I'm sure I will be a seasoned pro.

Lots O Fun I got some video and will post it as soon as I can figure out my editing software.

Call the dealer or a glass shop either one will give you a part #, Glass shop will install it for you. Junkyard would be cheaper

any progress?

Nice pics:headbang: Makes me want to put the kumhos and the locked diff on the brat.

There isn't much wheelin but you can drive on the beach for miles, it is the worlds longest beach. Don't get caught having to much fun though it is state highway and they will site you for reckless driving. IE cookies, driving in the dunes etc. I had a friend get a $1,000 ticket on one trip. When doing cookies at night make sure you turn off your headlights or it can be seen from town but it's a blast crusin the beach

Pilkington is the same as Libby Owens Ford (LOF) I forgot they changed the name a while back. They will usually quote with the molding and if they can reuse they will. You should get that cost knocked off if it is a cash job but if it is insurance they get charged either way. Glad it went smoothly:) -Rob

I would like to see the pictures you are including and what the final product will look like before I commit but most likely I'm in.

Where are you buying your wheel studs and lug nuts from?

Hatch

I bought the EA81 clutch kit for 160.00. The Jury is out however, I had to wait 4 days for them to get the 2WD clutch and another 4 days for the correct one. When I did get the correct one it had a great big greasy hand print across the PP and disc I also was broke so I didn't spring for the flywheel. I cleaned it as well as I could because I didn't want to wait another week with my engine suspended from the ceiling of my garage. Long story short it is slipping and I am sick of looking at that hatch. Hope your project goes more smoothly

http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=PHT&MfrPartNumber=MU476801&PartType=244&PTSet=A My mistake I thought you were talking about EA81 I got the xt6 clutch kit for $140 before I realized I couldn't use the disc with my tranny http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=FEN&MfrPartNumber=NU31144&PartType=244&PTSet=A They do make you enter a zip code so maybe pricing is different in your neck of the woods. If so I bet you could print one of these and take it in. Those guys are clueless. They don't even have access to the Parts America website, I would be willing to bet that if one were good with photoshop you could set your own prices

EA81 4WD clutch kit $160.00 Parts America EA81 4WD Reman Flywheel $35.00 + 35.00 core Parts America Parts America = (schucks, Checker, Kragen, Advance, Murrays) Print out the prices from the website and they will match in the store. 2WD clutch is 7 7/8" 4WD is 8 7/8 make sure you measure it in the store or you will end up making as many trips back and forth as I did:grin: It's weird I rarely see any 2WD Subes running around and all they stock seems to be parts for the 2WD

Word

Tavern might look pretty inviting if the weather is anything like this afternoon I will pack a lunch either way

I had the same experience with the gloss black maybe that's why I was so impressed with the metallic:grin:

It's best to reuse the stock molding if possible the after market ones never fit quite as nicely. If you know a local shop that has a good reputation go for that otherwise Safelite has a coast to coast warranty and if there is a problem they will keep sending a tech until your satisfied. Beware of the Glass they use though always request OEM, PPG, or LOF. Safelite has their own Glass company and on some models the glass can be very distorted. They can't charge you more than your deductible no matter what glass you request. -Rob Former Safelite tech

I used rustoleum Metallic black on my pugs and was very happy with the paint. It dried in about a 1/4 of the time the gloss black did and did not clog the tip. Cost was about $1.00 More a can

I bought my girlfriend an engagement ring about the same time she loaned me some money for my brat:lol: Congrats:clap:

Sounds like something the brat could handle. I'll tag along

Watch your temp gauge I have an EA81 with a blown head gasket, would never have blown if I had paid closer attention

I always thought that magazine would be more aptly named Popular Science Theory:grin:

Tranny mounts are easy to tell. I had to replace them in my brat. You can really feel the tranny moving a lot when you shift. You can see them from the engine compartment, have someone release the clutch while in gear a small amount. if they are bad the tranny will lift until it hits the stop.
