    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.

    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!

    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.
