only one I can think of would be an 18, those sold in lower numbers than the Fuego.

tracked down some used racks, have to wait until Monday to find out if they've got good tie rods attached.

That's true, but I'm not going to spend 350 on a rebuilt rack just to get some tie rods either.

ordered a used rack with good inner tie rods on it. $29, I'll have it mid week. I love the interwebs.

Damnit, stupids made me wait a week before telling me they can't find the rack. they're 1 day shipping from me, next closest one is 5-7 shipping days away and double the price. I'm sure the shipping will be higher too.

I wanna drive my car g'damnit!
