Thanks for thhe complements, I have been slowly amasing info for the body and outside work, I plan on retoring the paint and rplacing the various rubber and plastic peices to get a tight factory fit on the trim. But alas I have some rust to repair and some very minor body work also before i get out the touch up paint and the buffing wheel.

Egr line is plugged and rest will soon go.


I planned to take that as a challenge TooManyMBZ (I wouldn't want to spend 35$ on a 2.12 spring in a 32.82 bolt). But I do understand the new gold ones have a "better" or heavier spring. Maybe ill bite the bullet and then play with the old one, unless i find one at a junkyard to gut first, my understanding is there is little risk anyway. It is just s smoothing and comfort feature as I understand it.
