Bought my calipers with bracket and new bolts for $42, so about a $12 difference.

Eeeek. My reason for even rebuilding the old calipers I just to learn something new, and have spares just in case...

Thanks!!

This is a good time to announce my next project!!

Im going to pay the interior a little attention, i will be ordering a custom shift boot from redlinegoods.com, black leather with white quadruple stiching and 2 inches shorter to fit my short shifter. I will also be installing leds in my cluster and hvac, I also need a new light know as the previous owner super glued it on. I am also keeping an eye out for a decent driveshaft on craislist.

Do yall have any suggestions for any good cheaper mods?

Going for the blue gauges huh? I did it on mine, I think it cost me around $25 for the LEDs ( bought a few spares also). Looks good if you don't mind some dark spots on the gauges, as LEDs are very directional, and don't spread the light out alot. The HVACs turned out great though.

Yea but I can't remember if the gauge or HVAC LEDs didn't have cool white, they were just plain white ( not warm or whatever the other white is). But there was no color difference from the cool white ones, so I'm guessing cool white is the only white they have for that bulb size.
