(that was US gallons, BTW)

doesn't matter, because I did some gross estimations anyway. But for sake of accuracy, right now prices are $1.079/l in my town. Adjusting for today's exchange rate, that's $0.94/l. If we change that into gallons, that's actually $3.55, so I was way off. Wow, it must really be the taxes up here, bec...

you know, much as I hate spending $150 a month just to go back and forth between home, work, and church, I sorta think the high fuel prices are a good thing. We consume far too much petrol, and it's good that something is putting the squeeze on us, forcing us to either reduce our crazy consumption o...

duhhhh, yeah, spare tire! I shoulda figured that's what you meant. I'm not firing on all four cylinders this week; let's blame it on daylight savings time. Anyway, I'm buying all the bits and pieces necessary to make my first batch of biodiesel... graduated cylinder, blender, methanol, pipettes, etc...

Briano1234: sorry, I hafta ask again: you take out the spare and put another tank in it. I take out the spare tank from which vehicle? am I putting another smaller tank inside my tank? anyway, I'm not gonna worry about the heater core 'cuz I'm not gonna go straight veggie oil. Too much hassle for Ca...

Thanks for the info, Briano and kamzcab. I did note that CabrioWorld has some pretty decent prices (although they seem to be selling their tops on eBay for slightly more than they sell them for on the website). At $160, it's hard to complain. I'll check out M&T though too.

It's encouraging to hear about the tranny. Thanks! yeah, I'm not too interested in going with straight veggie oil, because I live in Canada and I'd always be wrestling with gelling problems... there's a guy about an hour's drive away from me that sells homebrew biodiesel (which has a lower gel point...

Wow, thanks for the offer. Well, for the time being I'm in the planning stage, just trying to figure out if this is do-able. The issue I'm most curious about right now is whether my 010 TNA auto tranny will be appropriate for a 1.6l diesel from a Mk1 or MkII, or whether I should just swap out whatev...

Sweet. Thanks for the pointer!

aw poo. There was never any conclusion to this thread, so I assumed that people were still waiting (even though it had been almost a year since the thread was started). And can anybody out there with a canvas top say, "sure, my top lasted twice as long, so I'm glad I spent twice as much"? ...

hey, here's a question. I'm new to this thread (and forum, for that matter), and I would like to know what you folks think of doing the swap, but keeping my auto tranny? It's the stock 010 TNA three-speed, with ratios of 2.71, 1.5, and 1.0. I'm not familiar with the physics and statistics surroundin...

If this group buy is indeed available to Canucks, count me in: 1. Your Cab's year 1990 2. Canvas or vinyl? blue vinyl 3. Headliner? no 4. Insulation pad? no 5. Cables: Side only? Rear only? All of 'em? side only 6. Timeframe of when you need the top or will be able to buy the top any time before Oct...
