Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

04 gp gt: low, slow and a dirty sloot.

Re: 04 gp gt, it's getting some attention finally.

The Dremel is more for shaping and carving wood, and a little bit of engraving on brass. :p lol

Oh, and I need to replace the steering rack.
 


Re: 04 gp gt, needs moar parts...

Looks like it's gonna need a rear window seal after I'm done in AK...



Winters up here are hard on vehicles.
 
Re: 04 gp gt, needs moar parts...

well... this happened today.



Culprit was a Kia Soul, she couldn't stop in time and slid.

At this point I'm tired of fixing bumpers...

I've already got quite a bit of the top-swap, just need heads, injectors and gaskets... and headers. lol

Hopefully taxes are benevolent this year.

Although that would be really awesome to watch, I've spent too much time and effort on this damn thing to give up... And it's been more dependable than my wife's 2015 at -50F, so if it's willing to keep running without fail, I can't bring myself to give up on it.

Boost is in the works. It's just taking a while.

That's some pretty awesome news! Now you can get some decent work done on it. lol
 
Re: 04 gp gt, needs moar parts...

Struts finally got to the point that they don't do anything for me, I was hoping that they would hold on until I got out of Alaska...

I'm looking at getting quick struts, or something cheap enough that I won't feel bad tossing it after only a few years. I'm going with SSC springs and either Bilsteins or KYB AGXs after I no longer have to deal with 20+ inches of snow...

Struts, steering rack, rear sway (or at least new links and bushings), and some interior stuff is top of the list.
 
Re: 04 gp gt, needs moar parts...

Rear sway end links, inner tie rods, oil change and tire rotation this weekend, possibly gonna pull the front seats out and try to clean the frames...

That and I'm thinking about doing some Dynamat when I pull the carpet and door panels out... I'm still finding salt in crevices and vents, and I'm dreading the amount of rust I'm going to find inside everything...

Might pull the dash and headliner as well, try and clean out everything at once. It would be nice to find a HUD while I'm at it, and a few other things could be knocked off the list.

Oh, and I paid off one of my loans last weekend with my tax return, so I'll actually have a little bit more cash to get things moving.

I am way too excited to start wrenching on it again... normal people are not like this, I'm sure.
