Re: Paddle Shifter Write-Up

Thanks for all the awesome info. I just built and installed the shift box per the write up and it works great. I’d guess I have 8hrs invested including research and purchasing time.

Vinyl Decals

Is anyone interested in custom vinyl decals? I use the best materials and I can do almost any size, color, or shape with quick turnaround times.

New from IL

Hello from the Midwest. I’ve been looking to buy a PPV for a long time now but haven’t gotten lucky yet. I’ve got about $6k to spend and I’d like a car with the L77 and a real back seat. I search govdeals, publicsurplus, proxibid, and a couple others almost daily. Any advise or tips to help me get m...
