Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

I'll have to sand an old one now to confirm. I'd bet that if they have a coating, it wasn't sprayed on. Saying this because if sanding dust is white, thats clear. Maybe some are and some aren't, I do know some look horrible and some are still like new.

Gots me some oil change sticker things.

got new calipers brakes and rotors today!

Nothing to mine, but told my cousin the other day I'd help him change the trans mount on his gf's 2000 Crapalier.

It started off easy, but the "center bolt" refused to come loose. We ended up having to remove a bunch of other sh!t to get better access, then ended up taking everything to our buddy's shop since he has oxy/acetylene torches to heat the b!tch up.

One bolt delayed us a good 2.5 hours.

So after lots of thought i think i know why my key wont turn, When i took all the pins but one in key cylinder in the past. I think there is not enough pressure to release the key to turn in now.

What can i use to try to pick the lock?

I already have new key cylinder and will change after i get this thing turned.

I have those tails too.
I was planing on tinting mine to fit in a little better.
But looks good to me.

Those look better tinted, but IMO they are very ricey. That's just my opinion though, as long as you like them.

they are also the cheapest tail lights you can find , i think i paid $114...thats why they're on my car.

Finished wiring in my emergency door popper button since I just rigged it last weekend for a car show.
dyed the trim panel for my HUD to match my car's interior
removed HID kit (old school 2003 no high beam $500 HID kit) and put regular bulbs in. Retrofits soon.
wired in and mounted double din head unit
started working in my spare dash bezel to accommodate the double din head unit
sanded some more on my custom fiberglass center console
welded passenger side exhaust tip back up where it had come loose

Drove to meet aceofspades and see the Panda. Got STBs now front and rear. Gonna paint it white eventually and paint the brackets black. I also need some of the STB studs because one is broken so if anyone has one laying around.

Sad panda

Changed the oil, filled the cooling system, and did the first start up. Ran great, and took it for a 45 minute test drive. No issues at all, this car is so much better than my 02. So much more power too



This gp is very grand

SO how long before the 02 part out? lol I like the new car. Looks clean!
