BOHO Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 How long did it take you for the strut job? I need to do it as well....Lookin good Paul... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDodson Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 it took me a couple hours per side, only because I had to take everything apart and use my spring compressor, and the rear were a piece of cake because I had them out once before so i think that helped with them coming out so easy like they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDawg_43 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) and new problem has risen, my head lights are not lighting up, they are popping up but not lighting up Did you check the obvious, fusible links? And good job on getting the car running. What did you do to get the tranny to shift? Edited June 8, 2011 by TopDawg_43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDodson Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Did you check the obvious, fusible links? And good job on getting the car running. What did you do to get the tranny to shift? it turns out my headlights were not working due to a loose fuse in the fuse box, I still have not fixed my tranny shifting issue yet. I am manually shifting it if i take the car out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
