ok small update. FINALLY got a new header and installed. havent drove the truck in over a month. sure feels good to drive it again. well i did a quick wash and snapped some pics. here ya go pic whores.
and i installed some hood struts. the bottom bracket for them i got from home depot in the electrical section. i think they are some type of conduit hold downs. dont ask me what they came off of cause i dont know. i thought i remember pulling them off of a mazda millenia but when i looked up the car to see how much new ones cost, there wasnt a listing for them. oh well if the car is still there when i go back to the junkyard ill see what it is then
