• 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?

Called Jeff at Engineered Performance to find out my rebuilt transmission is ready for installation! I'll drop the GP off after Sunday newspaper delivery, and should have it back Tuesday or Wednesday. After that, I start saving my pennies for the upper and lower manifolds and the oil pan gasket. Should be good then until 300,000 miles.

Miles Now?
 
A bit over 177,000. Since I put about 100 every day just delivering papers, I'll probably hit 200,000 before the end of the year if I keep doing that. I've only been delivering papers since over drive went out, but once it's back, I'll be driving it again to work once or twice a week instead of driving my Impala.
 
I'm hoping to keep mine going untill I can't drive any longer. I only just turned over 60,000 so I should be able to.

Considering how much I've spent just this year, it better make it another 100k miles. :-) I knew that my transmission was going, but some job changes made me use it more, so it died sooner than I thought it would. I probably could have bought another car, but at least with my GP I know what's been done to it and what is wrong with it, and with my Impala, I have two W-body cars. Easier to fix two similar cars, and I can also swap parts around to confirm things are broken. I traded in a car at 140k about 15 years ago because I didn't have the knowledge to fix it, and donated a car 6 years ago for the same reason. I feel more comfortable now doing work on my car, and I've found some folks to help me as well. So I want to push my GP to 300,000, and get my Impala to my oldest son's 16th birthday. :th_biggrin2: Four years until that day...
 
took out my powdercoated rim from the trunk - and my lug nuts will fit no prob - which is good, they are hard to find.
And the ss valve stems i bought dont fit, 2mm to big.
Looked for valve stems that will fit, and after 2 hours, might have some, waiting for email back.

Thinking about just grinding the ss ones i have down to fit.

My advice - DONT buy TUNER rims - toooo much hassel!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
