Here's a quick shot without any adjustment done. Left the new light, on the right one if those cheap Ebay "projector" headlights with a HID bulb (light beam all over).

Swapped out my passenger side hub assembly while I was doing the brakes and rotors. Imagine my surprise when I find out that the caliper is only attached by the top bolt....the bottom one was MIA and the caliper pin was siezed like a ****. And to think I was driving around like that for almost 2 years.
Also stripped one of the bolts that holds the bracket onto the spindle on the driver side.
$40 later, and I have a new bracket and bolts to go with it. Lastly, I changed out the 02 sensor that couldn't make up its damn mind on what to do. Every other day, one of the codes ( p0157,p0158,p0161 ) would take turns setting the engine light and going to back to a pending code. Done with all that nonsense.

Shoveled some snow out of the way so I can get a better look at what I need to do. My 2000 T/A has been off the road 6 years. My plan is to put on a new set of wheels and touch up the paint. Then get it back on the road this spring.

Did this about two weeks ago, but been too busy (and lately, sick) to post. I found a mint set of black Camaro steering wheel radio controls out in the local pick and pull. I brought them home, cleaned them up, and swapped out the digital board with my old ones that had the red lights. Looks much nicer with the ebony steering wheel than the gray ones that came in there originally.

Uh guys, I'm in a bit of a bind here.
I finally got my OEM WS6 hood but when I tried to bolt it up, all of the bolts were super tight and wouldn't go on all the way. I didn't want to break anything so I stopped short of doing that, but now I have to ask if there are specific bolts I'm supposed to use with this hood? I'm almost positive that the bolts that I took off of my previous fiberglass WS6 hood were the ones that came with the car from the factory and on the sleek beak hood, but none of these bolts will go into their locations without a lot of force on the OEM WS6 hood.
Does anyone know what bolts I'm supposed to be using? How am I screwing up this most basic of bolt-ons? Thanks for the input...

got my LS swap running!! just need to cut the rad support to make a SLP lid setup fit, and then put the rad back in and it'll be on the road.

I just bought mine. I would have taken pictures, but by the time I brought the car home and got plates, registration, and insurance taken care of it was raining and getting dark.

New filler panel decal and an oil change. First oil change on the new to me Formula. All I can say is the nut on the end of K&N oil filters is worth every penny.
