the guy is basically only using the motor/trans, seats, speakers, and firewall from the car. he said whatever is leftover i can have. i got a multifunction switch

also, my car now magically has 70,000 km less than it did this morning

the parts car was also identical in color to mine...the only other one i've ever seen, same with the guy that owns it. interior color identical. it was pretty interesting to have them side by side to compare....some of the rear chrome trim on my car is hard plastic on his, and there are a few pieces of chrome on his where it's just nothing on my car. weird.

About swapping the odometer, its not really good for records, Unless you don't care. Im not trying to be a dick or anything just my two cents.

**1990LTD** · 03-10-2010, 08:56 PM

Yeah, I plan on getting new gears and shit for it. Thaw all you need, right?

**91grandmarquis** · 03-10-2010, 09:01 PM

Gears for the odometer? You don't need those really unless they are worn.

**1990LTD** · 03-10-2010, 09:29 PM

I thought you needed em to change the odo reading for some reason....can you change the reading?

**91grandmarquis** · 03-10-2010, 10:08 PM

Did you swap an entire gauge cluster out? If so the odometer can be removed from the old one and placed in the new one. Thus reading the same. To change the reading you can take it apart and roll it back, but that is more work than swapping the old one in from the previous cluster. If that is what you did. If you're changing rear end gears you simply need to get a different speed sensor gear for it and the speedo to read correctly. Just a little confused on what you did is all.

Never mind I see you put a GM speedo in, so just swap odometers and you will be set.

Epic fail on my part. Thought i read somewhere that it couldn't be done like that..... Thanks man

**91grandmarquis** · 03-10-2010, 10:38 PM

Nope you can, just like 3 bolts. Just don't over tighten them they just thread into plastic.

**1990LTD** · 03-10-2010, 10:46 PM

Awesome.

Also, rain guards are in. Didn't work because I tried putting them where they were jammed on the junk car.

**1990LTD** · 03-12-2010, 04:44 PM

sorry for the pic quality, my phone only has two puny mexapixels.

one of the pics shows the only gripe i have with the rain gaurds...it sticks out a little bit at the end. the thing must be bent or something because you hold it in place and the metal guard straightens out and looks normal. I don't really care, but yeah, you can see the holes for the posts that hold them in but I don't even havemounting location on my car for the posts.
