• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Sunday I replaced the coolant elbows and waterpump before I had any major problem (2008 @ 100k miles). Elbows may have been leaking a bit but looked in good condition. Water pump I only replaced because a shop said the pulley had some play. Overall, the job went well except I hadn't mentally prepared to take off the plastic guard on the underside. Between that and battling the hose clamp on the lower radiator hose - I got the worst of the project over right away!
 
de greased my pig of a engine.

Just drove the GP to work and back (a whole 8 miles total.) I stopped and put $108 in gas in my work truck though. I just put $75 in gas in it on Monday or Tuesday too.
 


Washed off my baby for go-to-funeral duty. They are burying Andy in his work shirt so I'm wearin mine. Black cotton and a goth GP feels about right.

I finally got around to getting my heat extractors installed on the car. I bought them for 100 and spent 200 getting the door handle, license plate filler, and heat extractors painted. I did not get a hole cut in the hood, got them sanded down and painted and put on with that red tape. I also picked up a couple of decals for them.

Loaded it up with the rest of my stuff,and getting out of dodge.So far she's holding together since I've been maxing out the struts with heavy loads.
 
Drove it to work , ABS keeps coming on but only when going like 10 or 5 mph weird, no ABS light or anything except when it came on last week but then it went out. Maybe it stored it or something. Is the ABS module is taking a poo I'll figure our how to just remove or disable it.

Also got the new title for it.
