Did you get a chance to measure the decks after machining? Just wondering about that hg thickness...anyways, gl with your rebuild. Sounds like it's gonna be good.

Looks like a good project but yeah, nobody likes to tilt their head sideways to see pictures. Try just taking them upright or flip them when you upload them :biglaugh:

When i took my head to the shop the guy said that my head had been cut before so since he is resurfacing it again he recommended a 2mm mhg.

No problem mate.
My supras been sittin in the driveway since last november with a cooked motor. That tail light actually came off of my 87 parts car, that had the 89+ tail light conversion, which is kindly donating the motor to my 89. Wish i could help you with the bumpers and mirrors. Its got maroon interior, let me know if you need anything else. I'm hoping to bring my 89 back to life this summer. The only time its moved in the last 8 months is when my dad clipped the fender with the plow during a snowstorm :3d_frown: I'm throwing my jetta on ebay next week to generate the money to revive it.
