Finally starting the conversion of my interior from tan to black this weekend. Well, I should say, RE-starting the conversion. I've mostly been doing touch ups of stuff I painted a decade ago. Thankfully, SEM Landau Black is still SEM Landau Black!Speaking of SEM Landau Black, I need...
Got a little done over the last weekend that took way longer than it would seem... I got my new carpet in a while ago, and finally got the chance to do some fitment/trimming.I've got more trimming to do, but for now everything is cut where I can confirm it needs to be.I also did some...
I decided I'd clean up and refurbish my valve cover over the weekend. I'd found an image that I liked of a crinkle coat VC with white lettering and a red :dsm:, so with that in mind, I set about cleaning.The tools I used. Eventually, I took a wire wheel to it after I got tired of trying to...
I did a LOT of wrapping last weekend. I got the rear shelf stripped and wrapped with black trunk carpet. I also did the headliner, sunroof panels, and sun visors. I got photos of the rear shelf, and tried to get video of all the headliner stuff, but since I'm still getting to know this new...
Saturday I decided to pull my door rubbers and the body harness. The door rubbers came off OK, and I'll have to do some straightening on the driver side. That center "catch" didn't want to let go, and ended up being bent almost 90 degrees by the time I got the rubber removed. The harness was...
After a quick visit to the local Cars-n-Coffee Saturday morning, I spent most of the afternoon getting the garage sorted enough that I can put the daily in beside the Eclipse. I also got my block on the engine stand and the transmission and head on my tool cart.
(I didn't notice that stick...
Not much of an update here, and no pictures yet.With my family in town, there wasn't much time for the car. I did some part cleaning last weekend and I spent some time at the local Pick-n-Pull this week getting some parts off a 97 GS they had. I went with the intent of picking up just the...
Gotta love those twisty sides! Nice find and at a REALLY good price! Also, your car really is a banana, yellow on the outside, and white on the inside!

Plan of action for today: Get the car to Ohio, get the car in the garage, unload the truck on Thursday.Outside of construction the drive to Ohio was mostly uneventful. It just took much longer than expected. What was supposed to be a 7 hour trip turned into almost 10 with...

Plan of action for today: Get to Illinois.My father and I drove out to Bloomington/Normal, IL. It rained on us the whole way. We grabbed a quick dinner and crashed at a hotel for the night. Driving in 7 hours of overcast and rain, that's a check into the Loss Column...
I suppose I ought to say something here at the start... My 2G has been down for a decade (give or take) and I finally have a place of my own with a pretty decent garage. I'm headed to Illinois tomorrow to trailer the car to its new home. The picture in the Vehicle Profile is actually more...
