Mikey, your neighbor sounds like he has no patience for anybody or anything......Every township has local ordnances and as such most of them post little pamphlets that show them all.  Try to get a copy.  You'd be surprised at what little things your neighbor does to violate these ordnances....so will he if you should start to call the police EVERY time he does so.  Usually this makes people re-assess the situation and ease up a little.  If he doesn't, oh well, you'll have the ordnances and know what NOT to do so he can't return the favor.....

Hah, I thought "!  He installed electic fans!"  Till I saw "... mocked up..." and the zipties.  Looks like they'll work good, gotta get a good 3g in there to run 'em now.

Keep it up. Looks to me like your doing a decent job so far. But I must warn you, if you still want to meet up & spend a day at the JY, that thing will eat you alive in fuel! I havn't checked to see how many miles you are from me, but I'm guessing around 80-100. My zip is 43935.

I'm about 6 miles from Fila and google maps tells me you're roughly 70 miles away from the both of us.

What all IS left on it, and what motor does/did it have?  Fila bought my '86 cat from me, and might need some parts.  I'm just trying to help him out in any way I can.

3.8 cfi. with some external parts missing, but it has "good motor" written on the roof. Interior is stripped & what is left is thrashed. The only decent body part is the hood & I believe the tranny is gone. I got the EEC & some other small electrical parts & sensors. I sent Fila the web address to the JY. If you cant geet it from him, I'll dig it up & post it.
