good job, the teg tails look like they belong on there. they don't look tacked on like many of the conversions I've seen. you also did a great job on the paint.

by the sounds of it you may be losing some bearings in the tranny.

It doesn't look too bad, not my taste at all. But I can appreciate the work put into it.

From the sound of it ur trans bearings are going out. If you are thinking about rebuilding the trans check out this site. http://www.standardtransmission.com/ They have some good prices on the trans parts.
Not feelin the front bumper, but i love the tails on the Sol. Like others have said, like like factory. And Kudos on the paint job.
