You bought a twin?
You must really like that car. When I think of new car it's always time for a change. I guess your right though, now you have a parts car.

I had always told mrs zap that if we could only keep it...
But I never dreamed that I'd find another clone..
Parts car you bet!
The radiator is only 2 yrs old..And I added a external tranny cooler to it..
Starter is only 6 months old..
Tires are new last winter..
Headlight switch was 130$ my cost..
Etc..Etc..
I'm taking everything..
Will be nice to have a inventory of parts at hand at all times..

Hopefully you wont "need" them.
If the trans cooler is an aftermarket or larger I might would go ahead and move that over right away. Then drive this one into the ground too.

Its not electrical tape..
Its a piece from an old black steering wheel cover..
As a matter of fact check out the steering wheel covers in each car..
Mrs zap could'nt believe it either..
Only the "new" one is leather..not plastic..
