[QUOTE="Raja_Mongkut, post: 685878, member: 7413"] Eventful Weekend Replaced front passenger side door latch from a donor door courtesy of a forumer. Bitch to get out and even harder to get back in. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]30836[/ATTACH] Manual tranny lovers should know of these bling-bling yellow rings that make up part of the shift linkage.

Anyone removed the propeller shaft before? Was having a hard time with mine and gave up. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30846[/ATTACH] Gave the ol' carpet a got cleaning and beating. Removed all insulation under it as well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30837[/ATTACH] Painted the Wiper washer bottle black. Looks much better compared to the white paint job of the previous owner.
