It'd be like the Duramax GNX but from some weird alternate history version of the US where Ford was the one to try a poorly-received cynically-engineered consumer diesel first.

Is the new Ford diesel a turd or something? I feel like I'm missing something.

Good because I was tangentially interested in a 2015 Ford Transit. :v:

I've been keeping a spreadsheet in Google docs, and I'll share it once I catch up with the present day. It costs a shocking amount of money to do this stuff thoroughly. I could have bought a LOT of other cars for what I've paid so far.

It's a slippery slope, too. You reach this tipping point where the car is more right than wrong, and you consider reusing some trim piece or emblem and your palms start sweating because the original part isn't perfect, and everything else is. I bought a used original AM radio that I have no idea how to make "right", especially because I only want it for aesthetics. It's a rusted piece of poo poo and I think I paid $120. This is a kind of madness you can only comprehend if you experience it firsthand.

Gut the AM radio and just put in a cheap eBay amplifier and line in/iPod in. :getin:

Just a quick question... Was your FD white? I saw a white FD in the Caymans back in 2008 or 2009.
