    My Toyota is an 85 but is the same as an 82, an excellent choice for hot-rodding through the mud.

    Do I need to seek help if I get a personal email from pelican parts thanking me for my repeated business?

    Went all "Earl" on the engine bay last night.  I'm not getting that fancy, just cutting out all of the brackets that I won't be using.  Don't need any of the wiring that comes out on the PS so I just pushed it all through the firewall hole still intact, and put all of the extra stuff on the DS back up into the fusebox.

    Just make sure any braided line is DOT approved, some of them aren't.  Brakes are no place to cut corners.

    You're still good. When co-founders Wayne Dempsey or Tom Gould calls you personally to thank you then start to get worried.

    Hi,
     
    My name is Ben,
     
    I just picked up a 1978 e21 that I have been eyeballing for months  to build into a daily/autoX car, hopefully take some wear and tear off of my subaru.
     
    It has a mechanically fuel injected m10 motor under the hood in the pile of parts I also have an m20 which I'm debating on slapping a EFI and a turbo or a couple weber carbs.
     
    Here are a couple pictures from the first time I saw it in the fall. Sadly I don't get the nice wheels, but I'll come up with something before spring hits.
     
    Hope to get in touch with some other South West Wisconsin members.

    The more high horsepower "M" cars that they produce means more sweet engine swaps the e30 and e36's will get 5-10 years down the road.

    My name is John Menard.  Not related to the "real" John Menard though.  They won't give me any family discount even though I have spent thousands there...
     
    No updates for the car yet but I did get the wiring in my garage completed, 60A feed to sub panel, lots of lights and receptacles, even a nightlight.  Now its ready to get something done.

    The Volvo auto trans problems ended with the switch to the p2 chassis, which is 2000 and on, you can tell the difference pre vs post facelift.  A V70 will probably be our next family vehicle when our Maxima finishes it's process of "returning to dust whence it came."  The only downside for me is that unless you get an R (which would be crazy awesome) you can't get the manual paired with AWD.  And I need 3 pedals.

    I'm with Pat on the Volvo, my brother has a 04 V70 2.5T AWD.  Had 150k on it, but in fantastic condition, and he paid $4500 for it, can't get much for that price these days.  It is a super nice car and has the I5 so it will run forever.  If they do look into Volvo's, stick with the P2 chassis, early V70's had some trans problems.
