I rebuilt my rear drivers side Bose amplifier on my '89 vert

When these things are healthy, they don't sound half bad. And the cost to repair (electrolytic caps) is CHEAP!

I sadly watched through the window as mine got rained on in lovely florida weather. At least it had a car cover on it.

Well if you must know, I did a few things.

Took apart my dash and tested my MAF burn off module on my 1985 and it tested bad, so I ordered a new one for $109.
Repaired my passenger side floor light, I had to repin the connector.
Data logged today because my tuner accidentally screwed up the WOT AFR.
Checked my tire pressure.

And that's about it.

Soon as the rain stopped I just had to take the cleaner/wax to those white front wheels...

Then I determined that the RH headlight would not close, either electrically or by hand. Sooo, I just pulled on the headlights and pull the plugs to each motor...can't stand to see one light up...

Finally I pulled the front insert and installed my front tag, preparing to register in NYS...

Now this is a timely thread. I drove mine to the blacktop 2 1/4 miles away through the SLOP that our gravel roads have become due to the recent rains...took me 25 minutes. Then finally after shaking off the caked up mud and goo got it to town to have the "new" solid top's scratches repaired and painted along with getting the drivers door buffed out correctly because some jackwagon kid at a body shop had no clue what he was doing....heck it was so bad I couldn't have done worse Just hope the roads are fairly decent by the time it's done or I'll have to park it in my dad's garage in town and let his Buick sit out

astepup said that
