2008 Plans

[bodeen2007]

PAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZoomZoomFan]

Let's see. The GA doesn't really NEED anything, but it'll get some stuff I'm sure...

 

- Full Exterior/Interior detail (fresh wax job this spring)

- Power Steering Flush (power steering fluid and brake fluid are the only fluids I haven't changed )

- Fix screwed up passenger side headlight (its not mounted correctly at all)...I might just replace it, because it's all pitted and foggy and old. The driver's side is practically new (its from an '04 GA) due to a GA/deer accident last year.

- It'll probably need new brakes all around before '08 is done.

Wash/wax the entire thing, polish engine.

Completely clean the interior from top to bottom.

replace rear brake line splices if they leak

wash/wax/detail

get right window working (regulator replacement)

get driver's seat moving so my grandma can drive it

[93CutlassSupreme]

Sunfire -

Nothing. I guess it could use a set of rear brakes but I'm not sure because I've never pulled the drums.

 

 

 

 

Cutlass -

Hopefully I'll be dumping this and picking up something else to replace it. Major parts have been failing at an accelerated rate during the last year and it's time for it to go.

[hotrodolds]

I'm in the middle of mine yet. Though, with the tax return not being anywhere NEAR what it should have been, I'm limited to getting the paint and body work done, and then parking it for now.

I'd say mine is pretty easily obtainable haha.

20's on a Cobalt??

Yeah, I saw pics of 18 inch casinos on a SS and they looked too small.

but here is what it would like:

 

and with 18s

[mra32]

on the 20's over the 18's. But the tires on the picture of the car with the 18's look like its too small. It looks like it has like the same size sidewall as the one with the 20's.

 

But those are gaudy chrome wheels with rivets/dimples. If you have the wide polished 5 spokes i always see on cobalt ss' then i say keep 'em. Those are among my favorite oem wheels evar made. along with 2 other 5 spokes (both made by volvo)

 

 

 

Crosslaces are pretty good too. but there have been better executions of crosslace style oem wheels than the grand prix ones.

[LukeZ34]

Window Tint

New interior carpet

Repair drivers seat

Finish stereo installation

Exhaust

Fix A/C

Relocate stock tranny cooler

96 GTP:

Replace dead battery

Put stock stereo system back in

Repair slow leaks in front tires

Sell it

[TurboSedan]

i want to pay off my Regal GS ASAP and sell it for something more interesting....as in an older car with a turbo and 5-speed that is cheap enough that wouldn't require a car loan.

 

the L67 thing just never caught on with me i'd rather have an interesting 1st GEN W or another older Turbo Dodge. i like the Regal and all but i'm just not into it and it feels so boring.

i think my cobalt looks like a toy already w/ the 18s on it. i'm actually thinking about getting 17s for it.

Same here. Headlight work and a PS fluid flush and I'm good to go.

[slick]

Actually... I could use a PS fluid flush as well. Probably the original 8 year old, 140,xxx mile fluid. Same with the coolant also.

Same here. It was low a couple months ago and we added some, but it was just as old. Hasn't been low since though.

 

I know the coolant in the GA was the original stuff when I got it, so out it went. The car ran cooler after that too.

[Addicted To Boost]

The car ran cooler after that too.

Same here. I'm going to do another flush this year... on all fluids. Tranny I'll just drop the pan.

[Nick1234]

i assume you take it somewhere to flush the ps fluid.

 

For the Impala,

 

Front struts and strut mounts

Im taking it to be cleaned inside and out

Coolant flush

ps fluid flush- wheel doesn't like to turn on hotter days

brake fluid- I guess ill just bleed it out a bunch? keep adding new?

new steering wheel

 

just pm stuff to keep it like new.
