Fortunately I have the Fiero to drive when it rains. Greater than a 10% chance of rain and the TA doesn't get out of the garage.

I know a lot of people on the forum do the TTIIs on the TA, but where I live, there are few TAs and no TTIIs, so it's not like they are commonplace.

I am eager to get the suspension mods on. Strano springs are not supposed to be here for another couple of weeks. I think I will do all of it at once.

The fun is more modding the car than just getting them done. I had the choice a year ago of trading the TA for a beautiful 2004 Corvette and just driving it, or keeping the TA and have something to tinker with. Everytime I am deep into the TA, my wife always says - "And we don't have a Corvette because?" Admittedly, the paint thing took longer than I thought. Everytime I would go out into the garage a pick up the PC, my 2 yr old would start crying. I got so many comments from my wife, especially after she invited guest over for dinner and a movie, and they showed up 2 hrs early, and I kept on grinding on the car, she does not like the car now. I am going to get her a ***** and attach one of my buffing pads (it will prob take the yellow) and put it on the nitestand. Maybe that will make it up to her

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Nice work! I spent about 10 hours doing my black car. I just spent yesterday polishing my rims...that took about 5 hours, but the results are always worth it. Gonna spend another few hours today polishing the paint again.
Gotta get ready for the Power Tour....they'll be coming thru Columbia on Tuesday!

It's not your fault the people she invited were RUDE and showed up TWO HOURS EARLY

What the hell did they expect, your world would stop and revolve around them....

Good guests would have started buffing...

The guy came out and tried to talk to me while I was working, but I think he got the message when I kept using the pc.
