I like that body design more and more, its so unique. The way it splits in half is pretty cool. Yup, that's why the oil was colored too. It's ok though, I'm doing a complete rebuild with brand new parts. Well, not brand new. But newer. | |

| I took the 3 speed hi/low out of my GTII - that was one heavy mother of a trans. Even with the wheels on to bolt it back it was a serious handful. I know for the hi /low trans they say to use 10w30 motor oil , for me i used straight lucas oil , since its hot down here. | |
