That's good news. It must feel great.
I'm looking into running Cruise without the ECU. I'd like to take out the stock ECU, and sell it to someone it would benifit (since it's been flashed). I'll post up, if I find a way.

Someone must make a standalone cruise control computer..

Well, I just got my car back from Alex. He did an outstanding job.

I'm gonna take some decent pictures once I take the windshield tape off and have it polished and waxed, but for now:













It looks like there are imperfections but .. it's just reflections.

Still need to install my new wiper arms.

Beautiful! Now you have to shine the rims and tires.

As soon as the paint fully cures (10-14 days) I'm takin her to get a full detailing.. engine bay, interior wash/shampoo/restoration, exterior polish and wax, wheels, tires.. Ooh ya.

I need to find a place that will detail the engine bay. I suck at trying to clean it

Well I'm not sure if it's a good deal or not, but I'm paying $250CAD for:

- Inside wash/shampoo/restoration
- Engine bay cleaning
- Exterior polishing (rubbing compound), waxing
- Wheel & brake cleaning / rim waxing

That's in Montreal. I'm sure there have gotta be similar places in PA.

that actually doesn't sound like a bad price. Especially since the will most likely be taking some of the interior pieces out.

And I'm sure there is.. going to check around..

I was thinking about that too. I was looking into it since I was going to have to sacrifice it going with MS, but my idea was to tap electrically into the vacuum actuator into the engine bay. I never got around to testing it, but I had theorized that it should work, it just might/should not be able to adjust the speed for inclines/declines

seriously...how happy are you that you didn't scrap that car?

Looks awesome!

Thank you wytbishop.

I think I may go ahead with my turbo project this year. Even though I have no place to work. I can still make it happen.

[AaronTietje]

Very nice work

Remember sevenoaks motel, May 15-16. See you there? Oh ya, car dosen't look too shabby. Once you get her buffed up it'll look like a new car.

I may make it after all. I'm supposed to be back from my conference on the 14th.... if I am I'll head down for sure.
