Did Ball Joints, Transmission pan gasket and filter, and replaced the fuel pump relay. Still need to do the shocks as I found them leaking a little. Getting ready to take it out for some fun.

Fortunately I took my time match marking everything so that when I put it all back together ... the window sealed up great on the very first try.
Love your tagging system.

Oil pan is back on, once the battery is charged I will rotate the engine to prime it, and look for leaks.

Jacked it up, took the wheels off, and got sidetracked by cleaning up my shop rags that were too densely soaked in gunk. Planning on pulling the starter (to clean up and replace solenoid contacts + plunger). I'll also be inspecting and cleaning up the brakes & suspension (within the wheel well), cleaning the wheels and possibly polishing the oxidized exhaust pipes in the rear.

Just got my CSI delete kit, should be the last step here...

On a side note, that thing looks killer Randy.

Finished my stereo installation. Since I have the seats out I had to sit on the side of the car in a seriously non ergonomical position. After an hour or so I realised, hey I got a targa top. The work got easier but it looks funny with the car on jack stands and with the top off.

Last weekend...replaced lower Ball joints and Lower Control Arm Bushings to get her aligned finally, so that I could add new wheels and tires.

Staggered C5's to allow for future brake mods with Sumitomo HTR Z III in back and Sumitomo HTR PO-2 up front

Ordered a slew of parts for it: New plugs, plug wires, oil-gas-air filters, cap and rotor, ignition coil, and injectors. Also ordered replacement glass for the Targa, and bought a few tools I didn't have to do the steering column tear down and tighten. Stereo, speakers, and backup camera arrived this week, so hoping to start putting them in this weekend. busy busy.

More computer tweaks and updated the firmware version from V2 to V4 to my Holley HP EFI. The V4 version will definitely be a Red C5 ZO6 killer. You Red C5 ZO6 guys and gals better look out because my Red C4 is coming and coming fast and will past you up..

I ran into a sleeper honda... I was just taking off normal, then went to go around and realized he was "racing" me.

I down shifted and got in front...

I have to say i was impressed, i had to try a little to get around him...
The car looked like it cost $50.
​​​​​​​I should have given him a thumbs up...

He probably had nitrous and a fart-can. A lot of them do.

Had a beer while reinstalling the Bose amp in the vette. Sounds great! I know a lot of you don't like the Bose but when working properly it does sound great especially for a stereo from 25 years ago.
