Hope its not too late but you can have my complete Fuel Pump Assembly. Was working when I had it pulled.

Untitled by Gerald Mugar, on Flickr

 

Did you replace you gasket between the brake booster and the firewall?

 

its never too late i will take it just give me some time cause right now im just tapped out again i bought some complete doors and coilovers the engine shop gave me a good deal i cant refuse

thanks for being a good samaritan...

 

i saw that one its still in good shape but is it necessary to replace?
i havent really tighten the bolts up yet cause im gonna install pedals

 

so today got so lucky called a jdm engine shop and they are selling doors complete for dirt cheap
i took off early at work cause traffic was a bi!@#$ in LA around 4pm

when i get there was so clean and huge warehouse

doors were complete with glass door panels switches side mirror door handles
its cheaper in the long run rather than completing the one i have

10 by nakahachi, on Flickr

9 by nakahachi, on Flickr

13 by nakahachi, on Flickr

12 by nakahachi, on Flickr

i was waiting in the office then i saw rsr coilovers
talked to them told them i couldnt afford it at the moment only the doors

11 by nakahachi, on Flickr

so turned my back on it and we loaded the the doors to my wifes suv

14 by nakahachi, on Flickr

i kinda looked at the dumpster and i saw a fd hatch with glass and shocks
told them can have the just the shocks he said ok but i think its dead but he wasnt sure cause there was a huge wing on it and multiple holes thats why the want to get rid of but they gave it for free woot woot!

24 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

so i was all hyped out i decided to install the doors

23 by nakahachi, on Flickr

installed it
