Mike, car looks awesome. THE ultimate daily. 189 white?

What is the M45 shifter?

Also, those tail lights look great in the pictures. I've been contemplating a set. I'd be curious to know if they leak - did you use the stock gaskets or the gaskets they came with? Hard decision for $100+ . . .
 
Used the gaskets they came with. They will leak, fill, and the lenses eventually come loose. The car had standard aftermarket tails and both had a lens popping off. Rob's got a lens coming off his clears, too. The sockets will overheat so don't use these on an automatic car that sees a lot of steady application of the brake pedal.

The lights I took off the car had three holes drilled under the three segments. The fit is not great, and the gaskets don't really seem to get crimped in a good spot on the housing.

But they look good, so I'm satisfied. $140 shipped. One broke in shipping cause the box is too small and snug...took about 3 weeks to send it back and get a replacement sent out.
 
Have not found any shots from H2O yet, but one background...

Just the M45 knob...it's hard plastic and stays on the shifter, unlike the squishy rubber M46/47 knob that flies off easily. M45 knob is shaped different, flatter I think. I like it better. Had it in the '87, but just pulled the M47 for a T5.
 
Wow, your DD is super clean looks great dood! 15g at any point in time?

This car is very close to what i would want if i had a second car.
 
Have a 60/63 that I rebuilt. Would sooner swap on a .48 turbine and run that. Have a 740 Pierburg external CBV and pre-turbo hose to go along with a 240 Diesel airbox that fits on the passengers side. Would like to put on a clutch fan and 240 Turbo Intercooler fan shroud that I have, too. Want it to look stock'ish. The only extra gauge I have is the stock 240 Turbo boost gauge.
 
E-fans look stock if you don't ugly the wiring IMO. I mean every transversely mounted motor since forever has had an electric fan. Just don't chop the 850/960 fan because that would be ugly.
 
I like the fans out of some older FWD Pontiacs. The shroud fits perfect on the radiator.

Similar to this:

I bought a nice waterproof fuse holder to rid myself of the wired-hot e-fan. Going to hide the relay and fix the wiring one of these days.

Price is less. If you have to ask, you don't know what forum you're reading.
