I used the Duplicolor years ago when I did a BMW 2002. Multiple very thin coats work best. It will wear off on high use areas. The outside seat bolster showed the origional color when I sold it but that was after a couple of years as a DD.

I've run K&N's and was really not happy with how many fines got through. Had em on both a Kawasaki Z1 and a dual Weber BMW 2002. Boy I miss both of those. And they lived on pavement. Maybe if you used the prefilter and cleaned em and reoiled every other week

Good luck with the lube shop. If you had brung it back in a day or 2 yeah. I have a friend with a transmision shop. Customer brings his car in 2 months after A/T was rebuilt. Yup tranny toast. Puts it on a lift and bottom of car is covered in ATF. Sorry dude no can help. If he had returned when it started leaking he would have been way happier as it would have been fixed no charge.

A little something to read. Hope everything works out as you'd like.

Cannon plugs-sweet! Did they come with back shells and strain reliefs?

I tried #1 through #4 in that order and they helped for a while. Finally pulled the motor and did a complete reseal along with getting the HLA's rebuilt. Prolly should have eplaced the oil pump but it looked good. Maybe 10,000 miles later and still quiet and no oil leaks. Yipee!!! Gotta go over it as soon as it gets back in town cause it's spotting a little coolant.

Cool thanks for your input. We will get it put on.

Nice looking car. I really like that color. We picked up a deflector at the upullit last summer. Wating to paint the car before we install it. The question is do they really help in anyway?

I don't want to unlock the door, I can already do that. I want to open the door.
This doesn't look too bad as long as it will fit in the hatch itself. It certainly puts out enough pressure! And as long as it stays mounted as has been previously mentioned.
Look at nuts and bolts rather than a self tapping screw. Locks and flats or flats and nylocks should not come loose.

X2 on the Sambar!!!

X2 on the above I actually found one laying next to the dumpster at work. Brand new and fit perfect.

If you want to go electric check this out. Since you already have an electric lock you need to pop the hatch open and keep it from closing itself back correct? This should serve the purpose.

Chevy's with a disty would be a pain as they are rear mounted. Ford is in the front. Less firewall mod required.

My old 240 Volvo wagons had an inside latch that with some thought I bet could me made to work. You've got me thinking now. Gonna try and do the same to Fizgig. Great idea!!

See on the left side of the clip where the little tab is kind of facing you? Put a straight slot screwdriver against it and tap the srewdriver and it will slide out from under the cable. It's a type of spring really. The two tabs slide in a groove and put tension against the cable and the bracket. Be carefull it doesn't go flying cause it may be hard to find. You can also grab that tang part with pliers and tap against them that way you have a grip on it. To put it back pull the cable towards you and slide the clip back on. You may neaad to tap it back in place.

We used to race a vehicle that started out as a 1st gen 6 cyl bronco. By the time we moved to the next frame we had a blown alcohol fueled 350 in the bronco chassis with FWD Eldorado front ends for both rears with torsion bar suspension and a home made chain driven transfer case topped with a body made from streched and widened Samuri body panels. Looked like a Suzuki but we called it Mudgasm. So yeah you can do anything you want!!! Bright yellow and raced bogs and hops from New York to the Carolinas in the late 80's some of y'all might have seen her run.

Cool ride and a great history. Grandad will be tickled to see it going again I bet! Would the engine # be a good addition to the EA-81 sticky? That may even be a pre production car hunh?
-
How about keeping a spray bottle of window cleaning solution in the car with you? It should'nt freeze if it's the same stuff you use in the resevoir hunh. Maybe the Rain-X kind.
What SVX parts would be useful on my EA82 wagon?
