Hmmmm, Well, Josh, ...maybe you could pull the motor out and get inside the engine bay again? IT'D LOVE THAT, make it feel all warm and fuzzy in there! hahahaha. OK, that's extreme.... maybe put in some LED dash and dome and cargo and tail/brake bulbs??????? hehehehe.

i would have preferred a flat-rate box, 'cause it would have meant they didn't use ups

lol, not really, I take those things for free all the time and turn them inside out. Which means you could ship them UPS. But the reason why I do it is if it's a light enough thing I am shipping, it's cheaper then using the flat rate prices. lol.

over the weekend i wired up trailer wires



and did a brake job in the rear, along with a tune-up



(i know, they're ngk wires, but they're better than auto-lite)



here's what's left of the dizzy cap o-ring



and the old plugs, 1-2-3-4, left to right
