Haven't even started insurance back on it yet this year. Still sitting in the garage under a car cover. Walked through the garage to get a Monster energy drink, so I kinda saw a big gray blob out of the corner of my eye.

A family friend just bought a shop, so I took my car over there so I could use his lift. I put in my swaybars, zip tied some loose wires, and made his employees jealous when I pulled into the shop.

I installed the following items pulled from the ‘94:

Jacked up the car onto four 13 inch blocks under the tires;
UMI 3 point sub frame connectors;
UMI torque arm;
UMI torque arm relocator with drive shaft safety loop;
UMI lower control arms;
UMI panhard brace & double adjustable panhard bar;
Poly transmission mount;
Oil & filter change;
Fuel filter.

OK, the filters & oil weren’t from the ‘94.

Then I went and had lunch.

I put a second coat of POR-15 on the rear end that I'm going to be putting in my '95. Once it dries from the rain, I'm gonna shoot it with some flat black paint.

I did a tune up and from my impression of the plugs, they appeared to be the stock plugs/wires ( I haven't driven the car much in the 2 years I've owned it)70k miles on the odo, did an oil change and lastly put some black ZR1's with machined lip on her.

I installed new headlights and a new right rear turn signal bulb. I also took it for an oil change (can't do it myself right now as I'm injured). I love my Formula.

I took my baby out for a swim in the heavy rains we're getting here in NYC.

Something's banging around out back, sounds like I left every freekin bolt hand-tight. I know the Y-pipe is up against the T/A reinforcement bar. I need to BFH it. Trying to book time on a friends lift.

I installed a WS6 radiator support, stainless steel lid and cut hood to allow air to flow like it would on a WS6.

Like others, thought about driving it . It's been sitting since last summer and finally starting to get it back on the road, hopefully next week.

Progress, just a little. Bout to lay down the gaskets for the lower intake manifold and let it set up. This is after having to replace the leaky MLS gaskets. Did a different treatment that quite a few guys in the Grand National community are having to do and now hoping this will work out for the better.

Finished removing the rest of my A/C. Wired in a bulb socket for my driver side DRL. Relocated hood latch cable to fender well. Remounted trans cooler on the radiator. Topped off my Power Steering and Coolant. Found a cool rock in the front bumper (round radiator bottom) and threw it into a bush. Cleaned rear hatch and cleaned out rear area. Removed any extra "stuff" in the radiator/drl area.

Tomorrow, putting in new DRL housings and maybe getting my PCM back from Frost. Whenever I do get the PCM back going to get it inspected and retagged for the road!
