I finally threw the interior back together and washed her really good. Here's the Pics...... Notice the manual shifter instead of the auto





Ignore the missing foglight.. I have a broken bracket so I took it off

I love your hood, where is the switch for your foglight(s) or are they not wired up yet?

you cant buy it yet, that is til I start making them. You have to weld the nose panel to the hood. its an easy process but time consuming

Army still requires a DOD sticker for gate entry? USAF did away with them as they do 100% id checks anyway. Silly to have an obvious I am military sticker on the car.

30 days of leave oh my I would go nuts if I took that much time off.

I took a piece of Sheet metal and affixed mine to it and put it under the bumper. When I goto Ft Belvoir in VA where my kids live I use one from there That I made a bracket so it's under the glass in either vehicle I use.

They are such a pia there, kinda glad I don't live there anymore. I have alot of leave banked already but have not had much time to use it.

The 5 speed swap a royal pia or semi simple, I've done a few E30 conversions and can't imagine them being much different.

I made time to take leave. I had 80 days accrued. I will take another 30 day s in christmas.

the swap is really easy and straight forward. Not too bad on the price either I ended up paying maybe 500-600. it came out to more because I did all the work at the auto skills shop In the McChorfd AFB here around the corner. they charge $6.00 and hour for their bay space and they have every tool imaginable.

I bought an ECU from one the forum members with a dinan upgrade. besides that I havent done anything but I will take it to the dealer to get it re-flashed so it doesn't look for the auto ECU
