    It's heaven compared to where I used to live (Iowa) the way I see it. Wish I could afford to live around the Denver downtown district.

    [QUOTE=memo!;75404185]Found a replacement for you:



    Oh my, I could live with the 2.8 and prefacelift stuff for that interior. I love the terracotta interior oh so much. That cars cluster has been swapped and the rear bumper was reprayed pretty poorly however.

    If it's the same guy I contacted and met up with, it's actually a 98' volcano 2.8. Super sketchy, commerce city next to the sheriff impound yard. Guy had no idea..probably not his car

    I wish all the morons that put crappy angel eyes in their cars would sell me a pair of oem 1 piece headlights on the cheap.

    All I have left is a hood and we're back in business.

    My serpentine tensioner just **** the bed. Saying it sounds horrid is an understatement. Is there a certain way to install them? My last one went bad after my timing belt job..and now this one is dead with under 30k miles on it which leads me to think I'm messing something up.

    and I'm jealous. I'm not really into pearl though unless it has an s4 bumper, skirts, ect...

    Thought I was the only one with full terracotta on here

    Pretty sure chris has 205/40 with a 25mm spacer in the rear. Not sure if he has a 15 or 20 upfront now though.

    Probably be riding right now if it wasn't 15 degrees and snowy.


    My smashed up wagen is on the slow rebound. Hoping for paint in the next 2 weeks. I have a lot of other little side projects going on as well. Feels good to fix things that you've neglected for too long.

    Currently the quarter panel and core support won't line up on the corner that got hit. It's about an 1/8 inch off and I can't get the last 2 torx bolts in on the top next to the headlight. Hard to describe. I need to bend it back a little bit and it should be fine..
