Believe me, nobody would want the car right now. Theres still alot of work that needs be done :(

 

 

Like what? What else needs to be done??

 

Well heres the list of things it needs right now. Im not sure if itll need more later on...

 

-Still need to put painted front bumper on

-Replace windshield

-Headlight covers need to be painted

-I need to get the PS system flushed and new fluid put in. The fluid in there is brown, and the PS pump has been whining like all hell lately.

-Put front KYB struts in

-Cut out section of the rear inner fender wells

-POR-15 the front cradle

-Put the front STB back on

-Fix the exhuast

-Adjust the headlights

-I think its gonna need rear hubs soon

-Replace all 4 brake lines

-Needs new brakes soon

-Try to get the hood lined up the best I can

-Needs a new windshield trim piece that I cant get off the other car

-Figure out why is running a little rough, I think it may be the plug gaps though..

 

Im sure theres more but thats what comes to mind just sitting in front of the computer right now.

Well I got that on tonight! I also got my front KYB's put in today, with the help of John and his air tools. Also had to cut the jounce bumper because it was already bottomed out! :lol: So I cut that in half and so far so good. I probably should have cut it a little bit more though.

 

Now what really needs to be done is the windshield. I have no idea when this will be happening though.... I still NEED to get the inner fender wells cut, as the sway bar still rubs on them.. Now I think its time to take this girl for a spin! and start really driving it!!!

 

 

For now Ill leave you guys with this cell phone picture because well, my camera is MIA..

Well When I went to do the struts up front, I noticed something that all of the guys lowering should consider. The jounce bumper was sandwhiched between the insulator and the strut retaining nut. Meaning there was NO movement!!! So when I cut that in half, I just about got another 1.5" drop up front! Im still thinking I might be able to cut it a little more, but as of right now its not bottoming out, so I wont worry about it. But either way, what do you ya think?!

I hate shitty days where I cant take the car out! Gotta take pictures in the dame garage. But Ive only got maybe a 2" wheel gap up front. Im still waiting for the weather to get nice out so I can get some good pictures of it.

dealer should have the logo for not too much.

Posted

yeah Ill have to check there. GMPD wanted like $24 or somthing around that, but that was with shipping. I hope the dealer would be less.

Posted

either way for a brand new logo that isn't that bad

Posted

I hope it comes with the nut for the post on the back though. Last time I tried to make one work, it kinda broke the post :redface:

 

Ill have to check out the dealer sometime soon, because having no emblem up front is really buggin me!
