Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | I've actually replaced that battery with a longer one, and notched the inside to get it to fit. The previous battery was in there within the cubby bucket. I cut it up to secure the battery in place. The new battery is just in there. Won't move anywhere but up. Can you post your foam insert you have? I'm curious.

Congrats | Correct, had it shipped up! | | | 01-06-2018, 03:18 PM | #38 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Jealousy sets in. I saw it listed in Homestead and asked the dude if I could view it. He stated that he was moving to Punta Gorda the following day. Well, I only live a few miles away from Punta Gorda. Then, I couldn't get in touch with him. I soon forgot about it. But, it's nice to know it wound up in the hands of a friend. I hope it's as awesome as I want to believe it is. Do you know who did the swap? __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 01-06-2018, 04:40 PM | #39 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | Quote: Originally Posted by teetime4one Jealousy sets in.

Do you know who did the swap? | Ha, the car had a ways to go when it arrived, such as the interior, radiator needed a fan, and needs a few things still before I'd be done with it for a while (unless boost comes into play...) | | | 01-09-2018, 07:01 AM | #40 | Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Lyons, CO Posts: 83 | Great looking car - I got a few of the calendars and gave them to track buddies. Yours was definitely a favorite.
