hours of sitting on the floor and scrubbing with free box tee shirt rags, and lots of concentrated simple green.  every minute of prep was well worth it.  The only thing I need to figure out is why my four ways will work, but not my turns.  the light comes on in the dash either way solid when turning.  I found a wire with 8 or 9 volts going to it other than the 12v feed, without any turning.  that must be the issue.  other than that, she's great.  everything just feels so much more solid; esp the wipers. :P  I took the time to relay my headlights for daytime running lights while I was at it.

just thought i'd update this as I haven't in a bit.  Turned out I had bad grounds, and once I redid them all nicely, all is well.  The electrical got back burnered as well as the suspension stuff because of engine failure, but... :P.  Been busy making stuff look nicer.  tonite went to find out where my windshield washer motor wire was.  found quickly by itself with green/red and a T connector.  looks like n/a's had the reservoir on the ps and the td's on the ds. Gonna have to elongate the wire.  It all works with wipers perfectly.  And I also have my new  bilstein sports in fresh housings with new drop springs and mounts.  Just need to get the rears done, and I'll has the low.
