I honestly have no idea exactly how it happened. I was driving to work one day and suddenly the rear locked up throwing me to the side of the road. After getting a tow and taking off the cover, i found that the cross pin came loose and dropped into the diff and, well, kaboom! I have yet to find out how exactly the set screw for the pin sheared off seeing how i run an auto and it hasnt been to the strip yet????

Not big on the four eyes myself, but this one............ It just looks very sharp. I guess it's the use of black on the trim and turn sigs. Does the inside look as good as the rest? Love the way you made engine color match the outside.

Thank you, kinda sounds like the lil work i did is paying off lol good to know im not the only one who digs the style lol

The interior is pretty much in perfect shape except for the passenger door armrest. The  broke years ago and although its still on, it basicly "Leans" off the door. It kills the rest off the car but i cant find any replacement parts!
