face lift for the old VX....

i just picked up the Proton from paint. i think they did a great job. they fixed all the body damage and line-x the cladding. they also fixed the hood insert.http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...vx_paint5.jpeg

Is there a manual transmission that will bolt up to the VX with little/no fabrication? My tranny is acting up a bit as well.. I'm thinking I just need to change out the solenoids and adjust the bands, but a manual tranny would be sweet! :_steering

Sunday is coming quick! Decision time

The paint and cladding are looking great.

Hope to see you in Moab next week... after all you've got plenty of time to finish that 5-spd swap. :_beer:

That's great...
