I've been eyeing the old intercooler piping... it is showing its age, the wrinkle black is scrapped up, and it was run for convenience over form. The crossed over pipes are difficult to work on and...
Had a wandering passenger front wheel. Checked the bushing that holds the rack to the k frame first, didn't solve the problem. (Though if anyone knows how to find a manual rack passenger side...
Awesome.
And I found another antenna to bend up. I want to be cool again.
Thanks! I really like the blue interiors, it was what caught my eye when I saw my first one. I guess a blue interior in a GLHS would have been the best of both worlds.
Thanks! I need lots of bits of sheet metal, so if any of the following are in good shape:
1) Metal above windshield before sunroof.
2) The metal between passenger frame rail and inner fender, up...
So the car went through two owners, but I bought it back. One of the things I never got around to last time I owned it was fixing the missing stripes. Both the lower pin stripe at the ground...
I'm back. Time to get this show on the road again.

Hit the track for Puerto Rico vs Midwest Import Wars Day at Great Lakes with JT on Sunday. We didn't understand any of the track announcements, but the test n tune lanes weren't busy so it was a...
Just to add to the above write up, make note that there is a fusible link between the alternator and the battery, and it's a good idea to check it out while working on your charging system...

Sure, is that something you can move JT?
Spent today upgrading the charging system. My battery charging issue was one of three things, alternator, wiring, or voltage regulator. So rather than test each, I just swapped everything.
I...
LOL, needed to bring the truck to get the core support home for the GLHS. If I didnt have to catch dinner with the inlaws I could have run home to swap.
I decided the GLHS needs an alternator...
Quick 2011 update. Brought the car out to SDAC this year. Had fun at the car show, and took it racing at Union Grove. First trip down the track something popped at the 1/8th mile. Car died. ...
Got the alternator wiring patched up. #4 wire patched in with a mechanical splice, new terminal, and clipped the pin on the plastic mount so I could rotate it 180 degrees so the power wire isn't...
Haha, those be thems AN fitting wrenches. I grabbed them for the JIC fittings on the turbo lines since they were handy and the right sizes, but otherwise they get used so as not to scuff the fancy...
JT got the radiator welded up, and since the coolant already finished draining out of the car, seemed like a good time to pull the head and swap on a borrowed two-piece for a back to back intake...
Thanks! I always seem to have other stuff getting in the way on Saturdays, but maybe next month will work out.
I wouldn't have posted photos if I didn't want to share the set-up, so go ahead! Just don't mess with the factory wiring plug like I did! Too easy to leak, and probably no gain by going to 12ga...

Progress is being made, so I figured it was time to start a log of the activities. Besides, random posts in the "What have you done lately" thread are harder to follow a project through it's stages!...
