Hey Hib,
Thanks for the reply. The frame crack has been bugging me since I bought the car. I need to get this welded asap.
Thanks for the advice on the belt. I will check to see if its tight enough.
I did inspect QUITE a bit for binding, and it looks right. I need to replace a bunch of...
Just installed my Borgeson steering kit this weekend. Really nice improvement. I will post about my install experience later, but wanted to ask about some concerns I see right now.
