Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself.
I've always wanted a FD since I was young and finally decided to make the jump.
I recently picked up a '93 MB FD auto in great condition and am slowly planning my build for the car.
The only things i've done are basic new car fluids maintenance.
I'm currently focused on looking into swapping a 6 speed in and am considering either Careless's JK40 swap kit (if he will do another run) or Granna's T56 Magnum F kit (not sure if he listed it, but he has a magnum F kit for the fd available that fits the stock fd shifter position perfectly).
I look forward to lots more reading and hopefully some contributing.
P.S. - please recommend good rotary resources in the Greater Seattle Area!
Greetings friend! Happy to know another FD is rolling around Washington. Just out of curiosity, why the urge to swap the gearbox? 5 speed not cutting it in some way?
Xander - Thanks for the welcome. Once I decide on which trans to get and a timeline for starting, i'll be sure to let you know! Are you in the Greater Seattle Area?
Tried to use the Upload feature. I think maybe the images may be too big to upload. Here is a link to an imgur album.https://imgur.com/a/9wGgHxJ
maybe we'll make drunken eyes a thing? epoxy cover broke due to stress from flapping on the highway self explanatory bolt on the up/down motor arm got loose. Headlight was flapping on the highway. Had to use something, anything to keep it down. again, self explanatory.
