good luck..

FD manifolds are kinda pricey..... i have a lower and an extra broken upper.

I love working with the FD manifold compared the FC one. The FC one is a pain b/c it will pinch hoses if not carful and hard to work on.

coordinate with eric/chase to see if they need it.

They have first priority as chase has been waiting on it for sometime.

If you can arrange trasit of it and not break it I don't mind.

The UIM has a corner broke off. I have the piece. From my understanding a aluminum tig welder can fix it.

I've got an entire TII parts car that I'm trying to sell. I'm not a fan of parting out cars as I don't have the time. $900 and it's yours. The engine is still good too.

So, there's not gonna be a fall get-together?

I guess this saturday I'll put the FD up on stands and start rebuilding the front suspension.

Basically, the same thing I did for the rear suspension. Take it all apart, clean it up and replace anything that looks bad, maybe a little paint, and put it back together. I know I'll be replacing the Upper a-arm bushings and the shock/spring mount and rebuilding the brakes for starters. (My friend calls my work "trailer-park restro").

BTW. I'll be at ICON (the scifi con in Cedar Rapids) the 28th-30th.

I have pics of the Rear suspension rebuild online:
Rear subframe before
Rear suspension just before it went back in. Shot 1 Shot 2 Shot 3

Underbody with original Fuel Filter
Underbody all cleaned up.

I Relocated my Fuel filter b/c it's a pain there.
