in the last week...

New radiator (tank cracked in wreck, didnt realize it til after the fact!)

New oil cooler fittings. I'm stupid, didn't replace them. The o-ring was worn. Realized this when oil pressure dropped significantly and it was down 3q of oil. Luckily I was watching the gauges and it happened right in front of a parts store. Vise Grips and 26 (yes! 26 for two freaking fittings!!) and 10 minutes and I was good to go.

Turn signals. Turned out to be a ground, then the parking lights went out. Stupid me did not realize there was a fuse for that. I traced wires for 4 hours!! Finally found a wiring diagram on s10-forum which saved me alot of trouble.

Thermostat. 9mpg was not cutting it, 17-19mpg now. Coolant temp was barely past 120!!

It's been one thing after another, thankfully they've all been easy and not too expensive repairs.

The good news is I scored a ZR2 front diff and ZR2 rear axle for 120$ today. I will swap them sometime within the month. Its 3.73 with a G80. I'm excited!

I did highs first then added the lows.....i would recommend for you to do a quadbeam mod if you have not already, takes care of the bit of time you will spend in the dark while the bulbs heat up......if you want to keep it somewhat legal put the mod on a switch...........
I have both in, they are both behind the signals side by side facing upwards like in your picture, but rotate them 90 degrees.

replaced both of my rear swaybar stabalizer links (name?) with moog goodness. sadly the bushings i purchased were for the front, so they will have to wait until tomorrow, but I found that this whole time i have been out driving with my floppy sway bar i have been chewing into the D side rear shock tube... not the best news ever
