    It's begun! - 2nd Gen W-Body 3800 5-speed F23 Swap

    Update! The finished long axle is on its way back to me and should be here on the 27th. Having it done the first time with the local guy just didn't work out. Meanwhile, I've been keeping busy with tidying up miscellaneous things like coolant drain & flush, and refill with "all makes" green coolant. I got rid of the stock airbox and put in a cone filter intake. Not that it needs it, but it seems those stock airboxes turn into mouse houses all the time and I like the bit of extra intake noise. What I'm working on right now is finishing off the retrofitting of the center console. If you go with an e-brake handle, you'll need to make room for it. The shifter has a lot of slop so I'll be replacing the bushings with new parts to fix that as well. Last time I was at the junkyard, I happened across a 40th spoiler. I snapped that up for $30. To install it just needs 3 new holes drilled. I painted it to match and filled the 6 old holes in the trunk lid. Hard to get silver paint to look good with rattle can paint, even if it's exact GM paint match. Even so, this is the only spoiler in my opinion, that looks decent on these 2nd gens. I never liked the look of the "surfboard" stock ones.
