Subject:      87 Westy Tranny and Mirrors
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Ok bought an 87 a bit ago. Promptly threw a tranny. Ordered one $795. +
$600. core. Installed it, like a dumb#ss forgot to buy a clutch to
install while the thing was out.  Remembered cv boots and rebuilt axles
while I was there. Working through some other details, installed a disc
player, but still couldn't get tunes out of the driver's side speaker.
Red Flag! grabbed hold of the drivers door conduit from the dash area,
Empty! "Oh" I says "that's why my mirrors wont work either!" One of the
DPO's had cut the wires. Upon further investigation found wires severed
AGAIN at the mirror bases. Arrrgh! Took apart mirrors tonight. Found one
of the adjuster assemblies to have been siliconed in! Arrgh! So I think
I can salvage and make operable the driver's side mirror out of this
mess. But the passenger side will have to be cannibalized. Anyone have a
right side mirror (with complete wiring harness if possible please)
available for sale or otherwise?

TIA
Yours in Vanagonhood
oh and sorry for the long wind,
