so today i replaced my rear wiper motor( it was seized) and fixed my passenger window that would keep getting stuck when i would bring the window to low. turned out it was just the inner rain guard was causing it to get stuck, so i just trimmed part of it and its much better now

Got my injectors today and installed them!
Out with the old
In with the new
They were a b****! after replacing everything and priming it, one of them started to leak. replaced the o-ring, then as i started to drive off i heard a pissing sound and a other o-ring was cut so i replaced that one too...
i also replaced the thermostat and full coolant flush, which helped the the slight over heating. idk what the PO did but there was a ton of green sludge every where!

Nice job man. Call me crazy but ive always wanted to replace floor plans. I love weldi g and doing little projects with thin metal. I think its fun, esp when the outcome is worth the work and turns out how you want.

I like them so far, it might just be my brain but i think there is slightly better throttle response and my mpg's went up by 3 roughly! i was at like 10mpg city before

i was thinking of using fiber glass to patch the hole for now but i'm not toooo crazy about the look of the folding. Do you like the look of it?
