I am sorry to keep derailing the thread but this gets more attention than the thread I made about me doing this. What do you guys think about those reverse drill bits that drill counter clockwise? I think that might work for removing the head bolt.

Actually I found a set of Easy Out sockets at Sears, would any of these fit over the stock bolts?

I just installed my 4.30 rear end! Wow, 200k does a number on the LSD function. New one has 115k on it, and actually works correctly! :D

Re-covered my steering wheel.

Before:

Stripped the old cracking and peeling leather off:

Cut 2 different colours of leather (light and medium grey) to an appropriate shape

Forward side of finished wheel

Facing side of finished wheel:

Not sure if I'll keep those colours. I'll have to spray the leather with a good protectant as well, but I'm fairly happy with this. No more black crud sticking to my hands on hot days. Yay.

Edit: My fingertips are bruised... Sewing leather is always such a pain...

Changed the look...OHyeahhhhhh

Dare To Be Different!!
Forgive me Noel, but I have to ask... are you finished? It doesn't look bad, just wondering if it's a scheme in progress. :p

Kinda reminds me of the old TRD logo actually...

Anyway, I wiped mine off with a rag the other day. Waxed it last week, I just discovered the stuff (never bothered before), it is awesome how easy it is to keep clean now!

It's still in progress especially the bumper area. I have a graphic design in mind for the doors/fenders. The paint is just the background effect for the graphics.

Installed my marlin crawler bushing and shifter socket also washed the car fpr the
first time since I finished the last head job and replaced some vacuum lines.

Past couple days I've been trying to tune my Apexi avc-r with not much luck :-/

Is it hard to change? I read it's easy but all you do is remove the center console, take off the shifter then replace the parts and grease them up then reinstall right?

Stupid easy to install. I didn't have to remove any interior pieces but I also do not have a shifter boot.

But its a total of 8 nuts/screws and I used just a little grease and a screw driver to get the bushing to seat and wala.
