4ks needs Help

[Robert Turlington]

So a few people have told me that I need to rewire the fuse box in this 
car.  Icky.  I'm gonna try to just replace the FPR first and then I'll do 
the fuse box.  Does anyone recommend a shop in the Portland OR area that 
can do this kind of work?

Thanx!

Robert
