water pump is pretty easy.
expecaly if you got serpimenn belt.
dont be scard of it, its easyer than it looks.

nice to knoe i dont even need the key to steal your car, j/k

For the ignition.

LOL ya

The Turbo Guage might work because I dont think the computer will allow boost while transmission isnt in gear...It does flicker tho, but if it doesnt work ill replace it.

Today I will sand it some more and finish most of the body work
Does anyone know what to do with this

edit:
to be sure that your sander is a DA . make sure that it has a counterweight on the shaft of the sanding weel.

if it dosnt have that counter weight, it will work. just no nearly as well and it may spin up way to fast.
