I hear you say you're a mechanic, just curious what do you use for old rags when cleaning the chain? I've almost used all my old t-shirts so I'm looking for a cheap alternative.

I sometimes use an old toothbrush dipped in a something like carb cleaner, just be sure to lube it right away when your finished!

Since it was stunted, make sure to check the forks closely for being bent/damaged, as well as everything else. I'm sure it's been on it's side more than a few times.

forks seem ok, i dont think it was stunted much if any. there are some small scratches on the ignition cover and a small scuff on the frame and thats about it. the 12 o'clock bar on the back had no marks on it haha, i think the guy wanted to look like a stunter more than anything

doesn't matter - right now I've got a 90 model ranger that is begging me for a 302/T5 swap. I can't bring home any more projects, according to the wife.

My daily is a spec-v haha, im hoping to find a t5 for my truck this winter for somewhat cheap too. its just got a th350 right now with a shift kit& ratchet shifter.
