Yes, I like doing my own work, my car has never been to a dealership or mechanic except for alignment.
There are very few mechanics I trust and I'm very cheap. |

Drop it off!
Note that I'm cheap for my local rates, in my experience bigger (more economically balanced) metros have more competition, LA for example has dirt cheap mechanics, I wouldn't be surprised if NY was similar. $100/hour is almost the minimum now, most shops start with a $150 diagnostic charge (that gets applied to the final bill so you're not totally getting fucked). |

I'm curious what is the advantage to these door strap mods I keep seeing. Does it take weight out of the door mechanism? Or is it just something to be different, look cool?

I really hated chrome anything in my interior.. the Australian market black I could have lived with if I had it from the git go... but I didn't and I am handy and confident enough to pull this modification off and so I did. I really enjoy all these projects I take on... very satisfying when it all works out and looks good. oh... and Porche's have them... lol __________________________________________ projekt zeal86 build zeal.eightsix Facebook Instagram @zeal.eightsix |

I finished up half this mod last night but made the following video of the completed passenger side door strap pull in action this morning.

Tried wrapping the matte black upper grille bar on the front of my 86. Wrapping is a lot harder than I thought. Biggest waste of time ever. Pulled it off and threw it out. Pissed as hell now
