Started putting thought into reshelling my tw with my parts car shell, I can't have a dd that leaks.

Wouldn't it be easier to fix the leaks?

I've tried. Its the right front door seal mount, right at the front of the rain gutter. I've switched the seal mounts, switched the seal, and even tried permatex black rubber sealant on the body of the car, the windshield trim mount, and the seal mount. I've been dealing with it since around the big nw meet and I'm fed up with it.
If I do reshell it, I'll lose the abs (already disabled), the power antenna (came broken, I unplugged the motor), and the sunroof (doesn't work at all, glass is cracked, and the track or seal leak so I've taped the seal).

I've been in the process of pulling DOHC heads with the engine in the car. Getting the rear lower rocker cover bolt was... umm... not fun. Really miss the SOHC heads right now.

Mike brought me an airbox!

Finally fixed the broken nipple for the stock boost control solenoid, that means I can get rid of my spiking mbc.

Tore the headliner out of the jdm wagon yesterday to fix the drooping fabric.

Took my two spare axles apart so I can make my tw rwd this week, hoping to do it tomorrow.

Picked up some OEM rubber mats from a 2012 Legacy and put them in. Also hit 165,000 miles on my way home from school today

Lucky, I just realized I'm sitting at 172k. I remember last year I was really happy with only having 150k on my short block. I don't even know what kind of miles I have on my DOHC swap.

-Swapped out my old TD04 for another TD04 today. Mine was making a nasty whine under boost. Now its much more quieter.

Made a reverse scoop out of some sheet metal and left over carbon wrap. Noticed that my temp gauge is slightly lower at all times.

Hey thats nice, Chris likey...

(Sunday) finally had the time to get my 92 ss back together for a smoke test to see if it would pass emissions.... had degreased and wire-brushed and brake-parts-cleanered the gunk off the exhaust where it was smoking before.

Started it up, 2 cranks after sitting for about 2mo! Smoked like a chimney for a good 10 mins as it burned off the gunk I couldnt reach and had knocked loose. Noticed I still had an oil drip ending up at the front of the oil pan, shit. Wish we had replaced the crank seal while we were in there, that's probably the culprit. At least it doesn't touch hot exhaust though... it looks like I can go get this thing registered again, sweet!

Looks sweet CJ! Was the hood an SS hood? I still have to figure out how to cut into the NA hood i have.

Late last night I finally got a replacement knock sensor and after some handy work with a yarn needle I know have a new functioning knock sensor (old one had the housing for it split down each side)

Just finished with new crank and cam seals and replaced rack and pinion, vlsd rear end and a oil change.

Yes it's an oem SS hood.

Again another night fix replaced my alternator. Has anyone else noticed a connection between the alt. and the brake light on the cluster? Before I had replaced the part my brake light was on like I had the ebrake pulled up and engaged (though mine doesn't work) but now that I changed my alt. the light has gone away.

Got to -25° last night my coolant is frozen. Its not going warm up in CO for awhile . What does a guy do in this situation?

Dankberries, I think you should invest in some sort of block heater if you don't have a garage.

I have a magnetic block heater but that didn't cut it. Is there a good spot for a freeze plug style?

^there should be a plug in the block where a factory block heater goes.

did some maintaining around the garage.

cleaned up the garage today.

now i can center the 93ss in the 3rd garage and just put my attention to that. restoration coming soon...



had to move the toolbox so the truck fits easier in the second garage.



swapped wheels to the 91ss. gonna probly use this for the winter if it doesnt sell soon.




moved the 92tw outta the 1st garage and put the 91ss in there since im probly gonna drive that. someone is coming next week hopefully to look at the 92tw. this should free up some space outside now. now just to get rid of that 4x8 trailer in the back and clear some space for the 4th garage...lol
