    Trading in the Mark VIII for a C5

    I've been thinking for a while now that the Mark VIII would be a bad idea to take to England with me. Today I started looking into their worth and noticed how expensive Corvettes are there. Then it hit me: My cousin (who also likes Mark VIII's) is trying to sell his 1999 Corvette. Why not trade...

    Who has removed the rear window trim?

    I bought it a month ago because the body shop messed up the original. We installed the glass first, cut the back half of the trim off, then epoxied the trim in around the glass. I'll post a pic next week. It looks perfect. :)

    Anybody strip their Mark Viii down for track racing?

    If you want to turn this platform into a track car, start with a t-bird. You will never get a Mark VIII into that weight class. There is foam and sound deadening in places you will never reach....

    Portable generators

    95blklsc has the right idea. I'm a military generator mechanic. Many of our gens are still in great shape when we auction them off. Some of them, not so much. :D

    I'm sorry for the delayed responses. I headed down to Florida for a few weeks to visit family. I'll be back this weekend. No takers on the 97 part 2. lol. I'll check it out for you when I get back. No electrical book. Sorry. The only book with dibs on it is the 94 electrical book.

    No halogen housings. sorry. I actually have 2 of the 96 manuals. :D I would say the 30% is missing at this point. Make me an offer on it. I'm more than likely going to accept it.

    FS: Carlisle parts sale

    Doug had the right idea. I brought a whole bunch of parts with me to Carlisle so I could save the hassle of shipping it all. I'm down to a couple months before the movers pack my stuff for England!!! For those of you who made it out, I'll be selling it all very cheap. Mostly headlights and tail...
