Despite all you've had going on, you transformed that thing fairly quickly. I'm guessing you'll put it up for sale after the wedding?

i was hoping to sell it before the wedding but i have to get these warning lights to go off before id be comfortable listing it. the rear brakes are giving me grief and i have a feeling its causing the esp/bal and abs lights to come on. the stupid sensors on the hub are probably reading the brake shoes in the back being low... who knows they werent on when i first brought it home but i was more concerned with the engine being f***ed up. its just part of the process i guess lol

so ive been debating selling mine now.. i want something 4wd like a truck or something. If i get something like that, i wont be so concerned with modding it so heavily like ive done with the tl. kind of depressing i know, but i just have no way of getting around when it snows or hauling shit back and fourth from home depot/lowes or picking up stuff for the house.

That's how it goes haha. I worked on a project Civic hatch with my brother a few years ago and as soon as we fixed one issue, another one came up. I'm sure you'll get that sorted soon.

thought about that too, problem is, in my neighborhood, theres not a lot of room, expecially in front of my house to park cars. It possible, but i prefer not to have to worry about it. idk i cant really justify selling the tl either but somethings got to give. Im feeling really conflicted about it to say the least.

I agree sell 300 and buy a beater truck. I thought about selling my TL and f150 and buying a newer pickup but the f150 been in my family since 2004 so its hard to get rid of it.

Still runs perfect to this day with nothing other than fluid changing and a few brake jobs.

I love having a truck around for misc chores and junk hauling, car towing, running shit over.

And just read last page:

That interior came out pretty damn good. I bet it smells a shit-load better inside that car.


Tein Advance or ISC N1 ??????? Tough decisions.
