Yes, quite a bit done. I'm very proud to say 100% of the parts I replaced myself in my front yard! Alongside this restoration I replaced the heater core, and new Mopar Dash on my 97 Dodge Ram. All this while driving 3rd shift from SC to VA and back 5 nights a week. My love for 90's Mopar earned me the nickname Lexacocca at work.
