The hell does that mean really?  I’m tired of being called it. Drivers side Recaro is in.  I made sliders… they aren’t pretty, but they work.  I should photograph it… but when it’s minus 25 I don’t have motivation.  The seat is mounted LOW.  It couldn’t be any lower really.  When it’s all the way back, the bottom of the […]

… on me I’ll understand. Things are SLOOOW in the garage.  It’s easy to find motivation for basic wrenching… but fab and welding… I can hardly get anything done in an hour time-slot, and that’s about all that I’ve been able to afford.

And so... since ultimately I like our ZJ, I fixed it right.

AW11 Skirts1. I picked up AE92 skirts like 5 years ago. They suck. Trimming around your door looks wrong, and they are SHALLOW. 2. AE86 skirts are $$. 3. AW11 skirts aren't that easy to come by, but they are a lot more likely to run into than AE86 stuff, and they are cheap. That is what's pictured here. I'm not entirely sold though. Painting them black would probably help me decide. .
