I'm on it TJ - Cast mani for now, got one for 110 bucks today that comes with the bolts and everything to install it.
Yea Dan, my cousin and I took the head off today - the prognosis is that I'm not allowed to do unsupervised work on my car anymore, being as to how this is all COMPLETELY my fault. :-( I'm probably looking at a new head set.

well this project is on hold for a bit - I just dropped 1200 on my truck - new lower ball joints and tie rods, new tires & alignment. I hate that truck, but at least it will get me through the winter - maybe I'll paint the DSM while it sits in the shop for the next few weeks till I replenish my fun fund?

Well I have no choice on the plow, my dad uses it to plow the bar parking lots as well as my driveway and my parents' driveway - so he split the cost with me, which was nice ... but I'm still broke :-(
