Steering box spacer. Didn't take a pic after I drilled the holes. First thing I've actually welded together. I've practiced on things though.

I got the steering box and lines back together but I have an issue. See the "ask a question thread" lol.

Took the pics to torment myself into fixing it faster.

Definitely standard equipment. Shoulda checked for rust sooner. The old "they look solid from underneath" got me.

Went to JY and pulled a power window regulator and motor for $40 and installed it without issue. Even opened the motor and cleaned and regreased it. Runs great and I'm glad I didn't go to the mechanic

Put my 703s in. Too soon to really tell but after 27 miles my mpg is 20.7 not including any highway miles. Before I put the new injectors in I drove for 212 miles with an average mpg of 18.0.

I think ill make a post in a month or two after seeing if the 703s made a significant improvement to my gas mileage.

Laid the new headliner fabric. Camo's a little whiter when I wanted but it'll do.
