Thanks, it's still in good condition after 20 years. Factory splash guard and front skid is a big part in keeping the engine bay free of sand and debris.

Got her back on the road again after a front axle swap, only to find out that I no have a pin hole sized leak in the drivers side brake line. Not looking forward to that job.

I just picked up my 'rokee from the exhaust shop.
$60 to cut out a rust-seized o2 sensor?? I could have bought a new downpipe for probably less than that

Oh well, live and learn I guess...

I washed mine. Half of me says, "wow, that looks nice!". The other half says, "that's way to clean, needs dirt."
