Had some stuff to do before the nice weather so I decided to get going before its time to drive.

new rotors, painted calipers, new wheels and tires. Did it all then found out tire bolds were too short, Had to take everything off, put on longer bolds and redo everything. Pain

Then had to replace leaking thermostat gasket. Easy

Then took off door panels to check broken window motor. Was loose connection at motor. (GOT LUCKY) Easy

So then decided while panels were off to replace door handles . PAIN AND NOT DONE

Also decided to replace door windows. NO WAY gonna pay to have that done. (Figured it out, not gonna be that hard, ordered glass to do it myself)

Also figured while panels are off to replace carpet at bottom and put on leather that matches my two tone interior. Took them to my upholestry guy.

Also lowered the car to better fit the new tires. Had help, not hard.

IT NEVER ENDS

 

Yeah, lots of pain............but isn't she beautiful!!

I saw the pics of your hood liner, so I ordered one for myself. Then after I ordered it, I said to myself why don't I clean the underside of the hood up. Well that led to sanding, which led to priming, which led to sanding again! Then buying paint to MATCH my color. Had a friend spray it on thick = several coats. Came out awesome. Now I can't put the old hardware back on. So I ordered the chrome hood latches. Then I figured since the hoods off, I might as well order the chrome covers for the headlight actuators. I saw the hood pop-up springs in chrome, so I had to buy those. What started as a 79.99 hoodliner, ended up costing me more. LOL

 

great looking car. I like the sidepipes and the chrome rim combination. And its never done. There is always something.

Yes you are right. I have had mine 15 years and it is not done. I keep adding better components and making it better. You know where mine is right now. Still have more projects for it.

 

Great job, looks sweeeeeet !!!!

 

You love it and you know it. It wouldn't be fun if you didn't get to fondle it once in a while.

 

Dmeesq, Your car looks so much better, I love the new wheels. Your old wheels just didn't make the car look as well as they
should have. Now with your new wheels the rest of all your hard work really stands out, She look really good.

As far as it never ends, I know just what your talking about. I am trying to finish up the rear suspension rebuild and decide
if I am going to just replace the broken 700r4 with another replacement for the summer or go ahead and dive in to my LS swap
that I have been putting off. So much work and never enough time to do it.

Yes!

 

If it never ends, you don't get bored. Once you're bored of playing then you'll want to sell it and what if the next car is worse?

You're better off here, with friends of a feather.

p.s. lookin' good.
