Got the new trans from HRK. 25 dollars. Awesome. Put a new fuel filter on and adjusted some things CAR RUNS AWESOME. The welded dif is fucking sweet as hell. The reason the transmission was fucked is because there was no pilot bearing in the crank. Put that in (pilot bearing was only 2 dollars). Clutch is still in perfect shape.

I got an offer for 4500 bucks, but i think i can hold out for more after i get a cheap paint job on her…

In the meantime, we decided that these tires needed to be race prepped so we shaved them a bit for better grip. Here’s how:

We’ll do anyone’s tires for only ten dollars each. Must be mounted on 4X114.3 rims.

Props to originalsin carnut and deviousTSI for the elp, tools lift and knowledge.
