Got these 2 for now. Just got 2 taillights for 70$! They're in great shape too!

She is rough, she hasn't been treated well. In gonna make her feel pretty and mean again. Like Maleficent, i know it's not spelled right.

Anyways. I got the taillights today, gonna put them on tonight and was gonna use the old ones to experiment with. Was reading through that taillight concepts thread. Gave me some idears.

Right now, the security light is on. But car starts no problem at all. Key fob doesn't work, so if i lock the car, alarm goes off when you unlock. And my blinkers aren't working. I'm thinking this might be due to multiple bulbs out, but it doesn't blink inside either so i started thinking maybe the flasher is burnt.

She needs a healthy amount of little stuff. Which I'm ok with. That's the fun part to me.

Oil change today. Tomorrow, she gets new low beam headlights installed, then I'm going to pull the passenger door panel and fix the crack (which, fortunately, is just starting as a tiny white stress line). After that, a wash and polish.

One more trip next weekend, then its under the cover for her, attached to the battery tender for a long winters nap.

I spent some time cleaning my car up last night. Especially the white leather seats. I got them looking pretty good. Entered it in my first car show. Just a small local car show with a very eclectic group of cars.

I didn't win the stock category award but I got lots of positive feedback about my car. Name:  E8DB5A7F-51ED-4D4F-8362-0203706F4844.jpg

1. Had the bubbling sail panel replaced with the 6LE one. Can read about it in the Paint & Body work group, Sticky #1!


2. Install XM tuner/antenna for my double din radio (direct connect).

New wheels and tires for the rear. 15x12 champion beadlocks with MT 325 drag radials.


Not today but the newest thing I did. I hope I get to pick it up soon.

sent my injectors off to FIC to get cleaned, changed out a tail socket, cleaned up some grounds, finished putting plugs in, and tried to get my head rests off to fix the floppy adjustableness....apparently you have to take the seat pretty far apart just to get them off, maybe some other day.

After nearly a decade I finally put in a double din bezel ( the radio has been in for a long time)

Drove it around with my bud enjoying the recent install of a GMMG catback I scored and cleaned up well. Coming from a Flowmaster 80 series that was in the car. Car loves me much more for it i'm sure.

A+++ for the GMMG system.


I've been running this exhaust for 13 years, on 2 different Firehawks.

I walked by it while I was in the garage, pulled the car cover up to make sure it was still there, grabbed a beer from the fridge, swept out the garage, grabbed another beer...
