I was wondering if that was you! I saw the plate number and thought "I know that AAA number!" haha... This makes me happy to see that she's treated you right and your enjoying it. :smile:

As for the light problem, this was the car I did the center light repair to. I didnt mess with the side tails though.

Here is the thread I had for it if you want to see a little bit more history... Also feel free to PM if there is a question/problem at all, I know that car well and what has and hasent been done. :smt023

Its always good to see when a member passes off a car and the new owner joins to continue sharing the car

A bolt snapped on the mountain. Drove real slow and pulled off at the first autozone. :)

Hit a five pound tumble weed at 80 on my way back from eastern Oregon and tore the lining of my wheel well out :(:(
Very upset, will be my midnight project tonight before I have to return to work.

Exposed lights. Great for driving In the rain :(
I need new clips to re attach as well as find a way to secure a few points that were torn off compleatly.

Wish I kept the tumble weed. I did carry it about 200 miles though

Got the wheel well fixed and gave her a good wash.
I think I may be addicted to photographing my car. :smt007

Lol... Your not the only one that lives their car here. I'm known for a lot of photo bombing.

So your in good company. Do you have any plans for mods? Jdm maybe?

I would like more lighting and would love to get mud flaps on and get some sort of custom grill. I want to make it as unique as possible.
First I need to replace rear breaks and o2 sensor :/. Properties.

Update.

My BH is having issues with jerky/ hesitating acceleration and deceleration. My o2 sensor needs replaced, could this have something to do with it?
Also I have just started to notice a knocking noise from my engine compartment, sounds like something is loose but nothing is visible. Seems to happen around 2500 to 3500rpm but do notice it at other times as well, seems to come and go.

If anyone had any insight I would love to hear. I love my car and it deserves to run like a champion.

I was in a small fenderbeen there last year before he left for Thailand and the hitch of the other car went through my front bumper and also dented my hood a bit and I'm just not being able to get around to fixing it as well as a few other personalizations that have been going through my head. I hope to have a bit of fun with it. Even if sily at times http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q484/Scott_Purkerson/CB61A3F0-4629-4AF8-94E2-E667BE4A3795.jpg (http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/Scott_Purkerson/media/CB61A3F0-4629-4AF8-94E2-E667BE4A3795.jpg.html)
How it looked after the accident.

How she sits now.
Blacked the grill and mirrors for fun.
Plan on painting the hood, still thinking if I want to do two tone, but was supprised by how the new hood looked on it.

HA! I wondered if my sticker was still in there. The damage is not that bad really. From what you said in the PM I was thinking worse.

Not too bad at all. There is still a hole in the bumper but I am thinking about hiding it with a light bar till I find a matching bumper.

Bumper, hood and fender have been replaced and repainted on my own, and looks like it. Enjoying the ride but now I have transmissions issues as well as axles that need replaced. Hopping I can take care of this on my own. If anyone interested the PNW has any desire to help rebuild an old leggy or help educate I would love to hear from you!
