thats where the auto trans ecu box is on my car.

if you are in auckland i have a spare rear window at home. how did you break it as they are tough as.

Q
Auto ECU. interesting, well looks like its not going back in at this stage
Trying to remove it. Guess I must of put too much pressure on it somehow. All I know is that it was good one second and in a million pieces the next.
I keep that in mind, cheers. Im in palmy.

Has anyone that has owned or own a GTS, have some photos to put up?
Some of the parts I'm not sure if they are from the right model

All work has come almost to a complete halt for 2 reasons.
The 1st been I need a new body for it. After doing some working out, its going to be easier and cheaper to get a new body and transplant everything.
And 2nd work is busy as.
There will be some work done this coming Saturday where most parts are going to be stripped out ready.


So if anyone around the lower north island has a 88 VL body with little to no rust please get in contact with me.

Not really a lot to report. Have a few new parts:
-replacement rear windscreen (to replace the one I broke)
-new front indicators
-replacement left tail light
-replacement center tail light (that I'm probably not going to use)
-drivers door mirror
-replacement glass for the rear left door glass
-new springs for indicator stork
-replacement drivers seat

Work wise, I have stripped out the drivers side doors, waiting to take then off when I get more time. I'm still looking for a replacement body, hopefully I will find one soon.
No work will be done for the next few weeks as I will be away with work. But hopefully time I get back I will have found a new body.
