ordered upper & lower ! and a thermostat w/ all seals - a new overflow cap ;

and will be getting a new nissen radiator to boot.

I already have the G-05 coolant ....

It may be shadows but the radiator hose appears to be collapsed and should be investigated. Also is your hood rubbing the left front fender? If so, it may need an adjustment. Plus, you need to find and replace the missing thumbolt on the fuse box cover...it may be loose in the engine compartment somewhere, ya never know.

Oh! I meant to ask what is the correct lubricant for the regulator, window channels (graphite, not silicone?), and the lift mechanism gears?

hood levellibng pads are ordered.

I'll get to the u pull it asap for that knob.

Don't feel bad about ordering stuff....I'm pretty sure I am at least equal with Hatterasguy's SDL expenswise at this point.... :D :D ;) Which means I've spent.......hmm...who knows, I stopped counting a long time ago! :D :dizzy2: ;)

My car needs (and will be getting sometime soon):

-New stereo headunit (it died)
-Dash bulbs when I take out the headunit
-Guide rod bushings kit
-A bunch of touch up paint
-A new rear passenger door
-Front shocks
-Rebuild all the injectors with Bosio nozzles
-Power seat switches for both front doors
-A new sheepskin for my seat
-New Alternator belts
-Transmission fluid change with synthetic fluid $$$

btw this is what I am installing in the CD after I have the basics taken care of. It is not too flashy and good deal;
