as some of you know.i blow my transmission early 2011.for over an year i been dealing with getting parts and trying to save money
well September this year it went into effect
somehow manage to get 100 bucks and talk dude into selling me trans for 100
thats an start

last week,after all the bs i went though to get my rims n tires.late dec 2010.and 5 days after trans went
i was able to sale them for parts and stuff i was gonna need for this trans deal

well so far.just in parts and tools and still dont know what else i need or wanna replace

i am $250 into parts so far
$50 into tools
and in a lot of pain

aka meaning i am broke for now

main thing i wanna do is paint everything so right now i have to save again for that

but it is gonna be worth the wait cause i waited this long
i want things to be good and strong and looking nice n clean

so right now.its just sitting and waiting to be cleaned prepped and painted
then the rebuild can start with the new parts

new parts consist of
tie rod with greese fitting
ball joints with greese fitting
energy suspenion sway bar bushing greeseable
energy suspenion sway bar end links
trans fluid n filter + lucus
oil n filter + lucus
serpentine belt w/o ac
led license plate night
10000k hid headlights
wipers
valve cover gasket

hope thats it so far but we will see
