same reason there's a clutch pedal and the small brake pedal? talk about rice... so that's the easy "manual" transmission swap? do u pop it into neutral at the red lights too??

OH DAM

terry there is a junk yard in westville that has a smashed coug in it (hopefully still) the dash could be pulled out of that

also, i happened to find a smashed up 02 zn on chicago craigslist that a junkyard is parting out if u want a dash.

edit: went looking to get the link, but posting was removed. the name of the place was Joliet Auto.

I should've been perfectly happing dropping in there what I already had, but nooooo, I had to go out and buy an contour with built mtx.... theres no way my little pleasure cruiser is going to have less goodies than my daily driver... so its going to sit until I do.

anyways, I dont need a dash. I already have one. I accidently pitched the bolts needed to mount it. at some point it may be going back in if only to be able to properly mount the pass. airbag which I think is a legal requirement for the road. dunno, playing that whole thing by ear.

well the cars back on the ground for the first time... and all I gotta say, is DAMN, that things SLAMMIN. I forgot how freakin low the car was.

just remember terry, it will always go lower
