face lift for the old VX....

i just picked up the Proton from paint. i think they did a great job. they fixed all the body damage and line-x the cladding. they also fixed the hood insert.

i agree, in both categories. im not sure if i can make it to Moab now. my trans started slipping. if i cant get the manual swap done then i will have to see you next time.

The paint and cladding are looking great.

Hope to see you in Moab next week... after all you've got plenty of time to finish that 5-spd swap.

I know it's mostly direct fit but still, it will be damn impressive if you finished the 5-spd swap in less than a week. With that said, no matter what you can do to get to Moab, GET TO MOAB! It's really an awesome trip with great company.


...Might even be worth swapping in your spare 4L30E for the trip and then knocking out the 5-spd install when you get back.

Looks awesome! If it were me, I would put the badges back on, but then I would plasti-dip them to be black.

I too will be doing the 5 speed swap soon. My torque converter is going out on me, and since I just replaced the tranny and Torque converter last summer, I cannot rationalize why I would try my 4th auto tranny in this VX, time to move on from the weak auto transmission.
