HA!

well the positive of that purchase is you can ALWAYS use a Dremel tool, it is right up there with 100 MPH Duct tape nowadays.

thanks for the tip there mark,, i will prolly go check out what they have. then i will prolly buy a dremel and be sure to spend more than $50 on it when i do (shout out to mr hilodb ) it and then i will take even more time to get it just right...
You may have to order some Chinese food to get a plastic cover that isn't stained by some leftovers. Plus, don't forget to add in the one bottle of beer you'll consume while doing the job.

well i got it semi working but it doesn't seem very strong and i'm afraid the next time i wash the car off with one of those high powered car wash do it your self hoses that it will come out.

i went ahead and ordered a bunch of parts from seawell just now; timing belt, water pump, and this silly little plastic window puddle lamp assembly thing. since it was $35 that was not the issue, it was the additional $15 for shipping, but since i 'had' to order the other parts and the shipping was still $15 i just threw in the $35 part... oh well, i just hope my car will thank me for it by continuing to run strong for another 90k


plus i have some new wheels in the mail right now and it didn't seem right to pay a few grands for 'another' set of wheels when i couldn't replace this little part. i didn't want to be one of those guys that does mods before maintenance, you know¿
