not yet. it'll probably be this weekend before he gets to start wrenching on it. He was out of town last weekend so you know.. I hope he gets it back going. It's about the coolest geo storm you've ever seen. It's practically unrecognizable from stock. I'll try to get a pic from him.

there is a HUGE follwing up here for those cars.. i guy offered to trade me my rodeo for one actually, a 1991 AWD turbo impulse... i'd love to have one, but not THAT much www.isusoul.ca is the local website dedicated to those cars, and despite it being in french, most if not all of them speak english so if he posts up in emglish he'll get an english response... hth
