    I bought a set of blue dot tri-bar headlights that use h4 bulbs and they looked nice, but a few days of driving i found this.

    One more picture of the dog house, i used a door gasket/weather strip seal from a 2000 dodge caravan, works well.

    Can you please photograph ( up close ) the rear seat mounting hardware. I am trying to purchase a set, but I do not know what they look like. Where did you get the neat tail light lens?

    I drove the van 240 miles across the state today to look at a suzuki samurai. 70 mph + 30 mph cross wind at times = a long stressful drive.

    To top it all off, why do people lie about the condition of something they sell? I mean really! Because i drove 3 hours i'll over look everything! Evil or Very Mad

    I bought a samurai to drive back and forth to work and give the van a break. Plus the 29mpg from the samurai is helping the paint fund on the van. I switched auto insurance from USAA normal coverage (no comp) to Hagerty and saved way more than i thought, $740 a year to $146 a year with comp!!

    I had to send in pictures to show that it was in my garage and i thought you guys might get a kick out of my picture

    John,what year range 904 would bolt up to a slant 170?
    is the bolt pattern the same as a 225?
    If you know,I'd be grateful for a bit of an outline for future reference,should the A903 ever became a tranny I couldn't find a specialist to rebuild.

    The wife runs a candle business in one side on the garage that's framed off and boxes are everywhere!!! Not my choice but happy wife = happy life!! Every garbage night i run a few out without her seeing it. Laughing

    I always thought the 170's and the 225's had the same bolt pattern but i never had a 170. It's my understanding that the 904's didn't have the ability to "kick down" until 1972. My tranny is a 72 and can't imagine driving without the kick down.
