Enclosure sold!
Edit- quick description of JIC FLTA2's as I've gotten lots of questions..
They were on the car when I bought it.. Unknown mileage.. The car itself has 48k - I bought it at 24k..
None of the dampers are blown. I am pulling / cleaning / inspecting them now.
They are inverted monotubes W/ camber plates up front. So far I have found some scoring on the damper body on the RR. This isn't an oil seal - There is a seal there - but it is there to protect the bushing.. Inverted monotubes have a lot of lateral rigidity due to the large diameter of the damper's body that can be used to prevent bowing. The oil seals are on the small shafts underneath the main body.. So far none appear to be blown - and I gave them a quick test with the springs off..
As like all JIC FLTA2's - they are pretty heavy on the valving.. At full soft with moderately stiff springs the ride is pretty firm. At full stiff it's enough to blur your vision on bumpy roads..
And as for ride height - pretty much as low as you want to go.. When I bought my wagon the wheels were completely tucked and it still had a couple of inches of adjustment left in the coils..
SO - no real history on them to speak of... I also have the original springs to be included.. I do NOT have the spanner wrenches.. (I never used them anyways - always preferred a tap with a hammer / screwdriver to set or loosen them..
SO the price is set accordingly.. I need FULL wagon suspension as a replacement including top hats f/r.
I will be pulling parts and posting pictures in the next few days..

PM'd
Also, forgot to ask in my PM but you said you were planning on swapping the OEM clutch back in. What did you have in there? If it's stage 1 or something not too crazy (streetable), I'd be interested.

As for clutches - nothing streetable or worth installing.. They are going to be wall art in the garage I think..
I'll probably be selling the fywheel though once I get a look at its condition.
The flywheel is a Fidanza Aluminum with replaceable steel friction surface.. Has about 2k on it and went in new with the trans.

Still interested in the trans mount and short shifter. I can bring you a stock trans mount too if you need it and swap the shifter on the spot. Let me know. PM'd you my info awhile back.
