Both astros are made by me. First the blue one was with m62 eaton, sold eaton to one of my customer, then m112 with tbi injectors, then 6 injector intake and typhoon ecm All brackets are made by me. Sold the blue on in 2010. Then 3years ago bought the red one to my daughter, couple months ago my daughter found the blue on and bought it for her.HPIM1063.jpegHPIM1164.jpegIM000298.jpegIM000365.jpegIM000798.jpegIM000811.jpegIM000873.jpegIM000877.jpegIM000905.jpegIM000906.jpegIM000908.jpegIM000972.jpegIM000980.jpegIMG_0007.jpegIMG_0030.jpegIMG_0080.jpegIMG_6644.jpegIMG_4630.jpeg

Got the mirrors back on the car this morning and replaced all of the exterior light bulbs. Not bothering with LED replacements, going standard incandescent bulbs. Amazingly everything works, directionals and all. Got a lot of dark spots on the gage cluster so the interior lights are next and will replace the speedo cable while I’m at it.

Took the Monte over my buddies shop Friday night so we could work on it Saturday morning without it being hot, got poured on the way over there for it to stop once I got there

Made pretty quick work of it even with the top bell housing bolt fighting us, turns out the kick down cable was wrapped around the dipstick tube and both were blocking the bolt so we couldn't get the 6 adapters we put on the rachet to reach it.

Rebuilt the air box just like hutch and yes I watched all his videos on this several times, thanks for sharing hutch! Then moved on to getting the x mat put down. Next is the brake/ fuel lines on the frame so I can get it bolted back to the body. That reminds me I have to get the suspension ordered from Umi so I can keep moving forward.
