Welcome to the Club!

I been out there for three years- moved out from Manitoba. This is what you need to to. Find a shop...just a small local shop ( they are a lot more flexable) to over look "minor" stuff. It will cost about $75 buck. Then you need your Ont. Insurance plus reuqest a history of accidents from your Ont Insu. company. This way, if you havent had any accidents you may get a discount on your insure.

You dont have to worry about Aircare, because that BS only applies to us in the lower mainland.

thanx, awesome news, so to be more specific, any shops you guys can recommend?? or just any small local shops??

Derek, let me know when you are down in Victoria, so we can meet up. Have you got going on your BPT swap?

Sorry for the off topic post, but how did you remove the main panel off your dash for painting?

Start by un screwing the screws that hold in the center arm rest consel and then just work your way up to the shifter base all the way to the heater controls , also remeber the piece under the steering wheel column, held in by 3 screws, and then it pretty much just pops off. I hope you can kinda of understand, its not as hard as it sounds, just get a nice day and do trial and error...there's really not much you can break, unless you break a snap...just be gentle and forceufll at the same time....lol...if thats possible.

Good luck

Thanx man. I'll give it a try the next time I get a day off with nice weather. That happens about as often as an eclipse
