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

Stealthee's Ride

Well I posted these in the What did you do today thread, but figured they needed to go here too





I should know what insurance is going to do by the end of the week.
 


some spit and shine will clean it right up lol.jk you need a few things to get it right again as long as you get a fat check all is good.
 
Ordered header panel and headlight to replace the busted parts today. Hoping I have them by the weekend. Still need to get a hood.
 


While I am replacing the header panel I figured it might be a good time to install a trans cooler. And while I am installing the trans cooler I figured it would be a good time to do a pan drop and fluid filter change.

Headlight should be here tomorrow. Header panel should be here Friday. The Silverstar headlight bulbs are to be here Friday. I just ordered the transmission cooler, but it should probably be here Thursday, or Friday at the latest.

I'm picking up the ATF, Lucas, and filter/gasket from Advance tomorrow.

All tolled I spent about $280 for the header panel, headlight, Silverstars, transmission cooler, filter kit, 2 gallons of ATF, and a bottle of Lucas. I also spent another $39 on 2 new key FOBs, a replacement pad for my current key FOB, and a new key. $320 for all of that ain't bad.
 
Around $1525 after my deductible. Like I said, I still need a hood, but I can wait on that if I have to. The cracked headlight and busted header panel are more important since the headlight is basically just jammed in place at this time. If I only included repairs I've only spent about $160 toward that. The other $160 is for the additional stuff.
 
I was going through my photobucket and found this photo I took awhile back. Makes me sad, because the car was so clean and not wrecked.



I need to get a damn hood and make her look pretty again.
 


Well another update. I bent the hell out of a wheel the other day and blew a tire. Went to a junkyard today in hopes of getting a wheel and a hood. Didn't have any luck.

After getting back from the junkyard we started messing with all the cars. I pulled my tails and reverse bar. Tinted then cleared the tails and used some Meguir's lens polish on the reverse bar. I tried a bunch of stuff on the pig snouts and finally went with some 80 grit sandpaper to start getting down to the metal. Ended up using a DA sander to get both down. First time I have seen bare metal on the tips in the 3+ years of ownership.

I plan on buffing the tails out to shine better and need to further polish out the tips too.

 
I posted a pic. Is it not showing for you?

I intend on posting more pics once I get them polished out better.

Also if anyone knows where I can get a wheel to replace my effed one for a decent price please let me know.
 
Next few things is to get the tails polished out, finish polishing the tips out, and painting the GXP spoiler and getting it on there.
