    Mysterious overheating still after major parts swaps

    ok, got the home network going again, so posting pics of the shroud, radiator and clutch. Maybe showing my ignorance here, but can air get "stuck" in the cooling system? I can see a lack of heat transfer causing issues in general, but how would some stuck air in the system cause the...

    Window Bushing/Wheels

    All, This is gonna sound trivial, but hate to spend 110$ unnecessarily. I have a 1993 80, and on my Driver side window, the little wheels or bushings that press on to the window regulator and ride in the "window lifter track" (no clue what its called) have died (cracked and broken off) and...
