Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

i like parts geek, they ship pretty fast too.

Threw in a few tack welds and panel bonded the **** out of the driver quarter... good enough for what its needed for right now seeing as its going to be covered anyway. Just gotta lay down body filler. (Hopefully Ron will let me do that before we roll it out for.... aparantly epoxy primer until my attendance is up.... then paint and new windshield!!!! Then tires engine trans brakes and hopefully within a few months exhaust. Gah still such a long way to go, but still not too long til she runs and I can cruise again!

I normally price a few places for parts. Amazon, rockauto, and advance auto parts(using discount codes). I pick up about 70% from AAP, and then 20% from Amazon, and maybe 10% from rockauto.

Took the car in for an emission test so I can sell it. Found out they can tell when you've pull the battery to try to reset codes. Opps. Have to drive it another 100-200 miles to have the computer relearn. Then hopefully a code reset before trying the test again. I thought it was going to be the last time I drive the GP, but I guess I'll be driving it to work the rest of the week.

Took it for a short cruise. Not very often I get it out in the winter. It was a nice and sunny day. Tomorrow a big snow storm is coming on by. Might be the last time I drive this car for a while.

Flushed my coolant on the comp g and the cylinder 2 misfire code came back time to pull the plug again.

They check that the readiness monitors are set to " READY ". When you clear the codes the monitors set to " NOT READY " .
There is a certain drive cycle you can do to reset the monitors. Or just drive normally for a few days.

my friend passed inspection by pulling the battery for 30 minutes, then drove to inspection and passed. im still puzzled how he got through.

i dried all the water out and taped it with a duck tape
and tinted my tail lights with plasti dip.


is it covered too much?

I would at least get a set of led bulbs. Keeping them they way it is is asking to cause a accident or ticket.

It's not enough light?

I can peal it and spray less.

^^^ Nice GPF tramp stamp.

tnx
do you think the tint is legal or not?

I think your going to have issues. It's block a lot of the light. Personally I would either have a tint shop use tint on them or a bodyshop paint them for you or get tinted led tails.

I had two coats of VHT on my 97 GT, It was a dark ruby kind of look, this was after I had done 5 coats and it was to dark, so I had to sand them down and try again. So if you feel like your going to be rear ended then peel and try again.

too dark,

i use VHT everytime.

it comes out like glass and has little to no effect on light output if done right.

I fixed it. But it looked better black

I concur.
