We understand that you got all of this stuff for free from your buddy, but you will have so much less head ache with a complete swap, and it being a d series your supplies are limitless for such little money. Either way you go, research, ask tons of questions, and good luck kid. _____________________________ -B- (in reply to killajay) Post #: 22
