That's another thing to add to my to do list also, I did the drivers side last year and have been putting off the passenger side this year. My girlfriend always jokes that my car is my other gf because it always wants my attention.
baSICK5.0 idk what the hell you did but I never took half of that stuff out when I did mine.

Not really today. I bought the car and brought it home last Saturday. Since then I've:
*Replaced the shifter ball with a Hurst ball
*Replaced the broken trans mount
*Added the skip shift eliminator (SLP)
*Throttle body bypass
*Fixed the intake elbow that was put on wrong by previous owner
*Replaced windshield wipers for the correct size
*Coated all windows (including t-tops) with Rain X
*Cleaned the factory chrome wheels, they had a lot of gunk on them
It seems the previous owners have not done a lot to the car. I saw the fuel filter was covered in road grime too so got a new one to stick on there soon. Got new plug wires too, that will be fun to do.
The factory stereo is gone replaced by the cheapest Pioneer head unit. Front left speaker does not work. I ordered a new Kenwood head unit last night along with some MB Quart speakers for the front doors. I may amp it later, already have an Alpine 40w 4 channel amp, but for now won't mess with that.
The driver door window does not move, motor is dead. Window is also unstable, I think the track is old. I tried to replace the motor but can't get the dern rivets drilled out for some reason. I'll take it to someone to possibly just replace the track and motor (and spend a pretty penny for it). It also needs new window tint.
Lots to do! For now the outside it clean (cleaned it last night after driving in the rain) and the interior is clean. Still muddy out (we live on 7 acres and don't have a paved driveway) so not taking it out again until the ground hardens up some. Maybe Sunday. We got 3.5 inches of rain last night alone, 6 inches in the last 7 days. It's been a dry summer until... you guessed it, I bought the Z28.

Today it got a new fuel filter and the front license plate mounted via SLP plate mount. It's rained again and my driveway is still muddy, don't want to take the car out.
