The box itself wasnt "torn apart", neither were any of the papers inside the box, minus one piece of thick paper that 'was' wrapped around the turbo. Had this box been "torn apart" the turbo would show signs of damage and so would teh wastegate and the gasket. But since this box arrived to my home with a top full of indestructable clear packing tape, a white paper with no words in the center of the box(amidst the tape) and packing peanuts and bubble wrap inside the box, which were not the original packing materials....im going to full well assume it was opened somewhere between the time it was dropped off at FedEx in OH, and the trip to Nashville, then the trip from Nashville to Knoxville, and then the 12 hours it sat on the FedEx delivery truck before being deposited so late at night i would have tripped over the thing when i went to work had I not had to be somewhere that night. So in my experience, FedEx is no longer my carrier of choice for my packages when I send them out now, nor should i have choice over the atter when sent to me.

I thought about a LS1 conversion on my first FD (it was an auto anyway), but I thought better of it and sold it and picked up the one I have now.

Hey, get the whole car or tell me where the junkyard is.. I need several parts. To name a few I need a front drivers fender (red), passenger tail light (I can trade becuase mine just has a small crack and I'd hate to throw away a tailight over a crack but I'd like to have one without a crack), a radiator, maybe the main cat until I get a RB one, passenger window switch, and probably a few other things that I'm forgeting. Oooh a working radio and a rear bumper skin (red). Again most of this stuff I can give replace on the parts can with less than desirable parts. I'm still willing to pay for the parts I just would rather keep the ugly parts in circulation just in case something happens to a vert down the road they can keep their beat up fender or whatnot or they can get a fender that hasn't had the complete **** beat out of it yet.
