  1. I have done a few cars(full restoration from tear down to paint), what are you looking to get done? I do sandblasting frames, etc. How is the restoration on your dad's 66 vette going?
  2. I am in process of getting back on two wheels again. The last plates on my 86 Interceptor were from 2000. I went to Iron Pony yesterday and pick up a fuel and oil filter, spark plugs and synthetic oil. I am working on it this weekend and should be ready to ride in the next few weeks. I have owned this since 90 and have over 27,000 mile on it.
  3. Looks good. My 5.0 can get around 20-21 mpg if I dont lay into it.

    Cars in Barns

    I like it. I have several pictures I should post on it(my dad's 64 Impala SS and my 69 Chevelle SS). Both cars are in storage on a second floor in my dad's warehouse. They have been there for 15 years. Other priories seem to come up. The cars are not rotting away, they are in line for the restoration process.
  5. I am pretty busy this weekend, does the car run and where do you need it towed to from Gahanna? Is your grandmother in Gahanna also?
  6. My $.02 is that you are nuts to sell the Porsche for an EVO. The EVO's are nice, but they dont hold up(burn up clutches at 7k miles, etc) and the resale will be much lower than a 911 after three years. Do what you want its your $$.
  7. Pictures please, Would these fit a 2002-3 Accord? What size is the rim? I dont know what wheels fit(bolt pattern) the newer accord.
  8. Someone already said this, Hit *228 and then option 2. If this doesnt work, you will need to go to a Verizon store.
  9. Shoot, I wish you had this available a few weeks ago. I just pieced together a system similar to what you have listed.
  10. What are you looking for in PC100? I have several PC100's chips I am not using.

    upholstering??

    Rolla, Where is your shop located? What part of town? Can you PM me a estimate on upholstering my wife's 97 Volvo bottom seat. I need to replace the heating element. Thanks,
  12. I agree, why have AOL. If using dial up, get Copper.net, it is $99 for a year.
  13. Thanks, I will give him a call tomorrow.
  14. +1 for the Right Stuff detailing. I bought my brake lines for the Z28 there and the quality is excellent.
  15. If you are into Volvo's and can hook me up with someone that can replace my driver's side heating element cheaper than $350, let me know. I can take the seat out, I just need some help removing the seat covers and re-installing.
  16. I own a 97 Volvo 850. We bought it new in 97 at Byers. We have enjoyed the car a lot and it is still my wife's daily driver. We have 85,000 miles on it presently. I read the reviews about Volvo's lasting for a million miles and that is one of the reasons we bought and the fact that it is designed with safety first in mind. Overall, we are happy with it but some things are expensive. I usually do all of my maintenance on my vehicles, but for the first 5 years I took the 850 into Byers Volvo. I didnt want to void any warranty, so they did everything from oil changes to the timing belt at 80k. It wasn’t too expensive. The only thing that was expensive and I have not had repaired or fix, is the driver's side heated seat. It just broke this year and I was charged $100 at Byers to tell me that the heating element needs repaired and it will be another $350 to fix. I thought this would be the problem, but I wasn’t expecting $100 to tell me that and another $350 to fix. I was expecting ~$250 for the whole job. I was kinda upset about that, the heating element is a $60 part. I have not torn down a seat before, but am thinking about it, unless someone can do it much cheaper. Another note, that today’s Volvo’s are a product of Ford. I think Ford bought Volvo 98, so we have one of last ‘rest’ Volvos unless you are talking about Volvo trucks. Volvo still owns the truck part. Overall we are happy with the 850.
  17. Congratulations and welcome to home ownership.

    FS B303 cam $60

    Any interest in trading some 86 GT rims for the 87-90 rims? Are the rims clean? I dont want the tires. I can remove them, I have a tire changer.
  19. 78 Z-28, I got it cheap and parts are still affordable for now.
  20. +1 I pay under $1500/half year for all of my cars/truck. wife's Volvo Z71 Pickup and the rest of the stuff One thing I did when I was younger was to buy and a insure a piece of sh-t as my full time driver and have my 'nice' car as a recreational driver. It was cheaper to insure two cars vs one. I would have my beater whenever the weather wasnt nice.
  21. Another mustang, you should of keep the fox. Welcome...
  22. I would go with the Z06. They are coming down in price fast due to the C6. There is nothing wrong with the Cobra(I own a stang too). I had driven a few Z06's and they handle great and are fast. I have not had the opportunity to drive a Cobra. If you plan to keep the car for a while, remember the body on the vette is fiberglass, which will not rust. My $.02
  23. Dave, Shoot me some pictures. Thanks,
  24. I guess you are faster than my 427 Corvette.
