[QUOTE="nasscmw, post: 1230579, member: 11469"] ibestriker, Have you called those halfcut places for your ECU? They might have it. Like BA Autoparts, Sun Eng Hup and Chan Used Parts just to name a few. If they do have it please haggle. If not they'd offer you cut throat prices. Hiya Port, Going to get half cut? then do your body first. Why? Cause you said you're going to change the rubber seals. Best do body then the rubber.. If you install new rubber then right before the spraying it has to be taken off. What happens? Rubber damage!! Hey dude, better get it straight on what you want to do with your car... Think about what you want to do with it, If you're going to sell it in the next few years why waste the money? Wanting your car is up to you no one can tell you how to keep it or how long to keep it. You don't call Jap cars jap muscle! Jap don't have muscle cars!! They don't even qualify as a muscle car!! Call them Jap classic sports cars. But no way no how they're muscle cars. Why?
