I intentionally went with potato cam pictures, since it's been 2 weeks since the last bath.

Old caliper is in the trash. It sure felt like a lot more work than my old parts pile would suggest.

Thanks, bud. I do wish they sat at a 3:00 (9:00 on the passenger side) like the fronts, but c'est la vie.Quote:

Just remember that 330's aren't as common as their lower end counterparts, so depending on your area, they may be harder to come by at those kinds of yards.Quote:

For sure. Our non-330 to 330 ratio is about 7:1 at the two pull yards I'm familiar with. But I do keep an eye on the listings once every 7-10 days.Quote:

The mirrors turned up make me think of a suspicious dog with its ears angled back.
Finally washed it, after like 2 months. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...70f7ef4f7e.jpg
Really wish Flickr made a proper mobile app so I wouldn't have to use Tapatalk. This quality is AWFUL!
