I should have replaced the starter when I first got the car two years ago..it's sooo much easier to start now, and the battery has become a nonissue. Ah well, there's my good news of the month. Anyone with a 73 X know if the rear rubber piece that goes behind the bumper is supposed to be the color of the body or the stripe/rear light panel? -- Daniel Modlin mailto:dmodlin@xxxx http://home.earthlink.net/~dmodlin Burbank, CA ICQ #4076445 (insert amusing line here)
