You possess too much wisdom to leave the thread permanently IMO.
Still a bittersweet thing IMO.

I met the buyer when he was first looking at it 1/2 to New Orleans. On the way back the A/C wasn't working as well, it reeked of oil, developed some new squeaks, I was quite happy to pass it on.
What all are you doing?
I made some headway this weekend. Got the rear suspension all put back together with new ball joints, shocks, etc. Applied bondo to the cracked fiberglass areas but still need to paint them, changed the tranny fluid. Took off all the wheel well liners, cleaned up everything, cleaned the ground back there. I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel... but I definitely need to do a full exterior detail now too, it is filthy from the track, covered in pollen, etc.

Should have a review within a few weeks... only hang up may be getting an alignment during COVID. Desert also has the shocks and loves them.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 7:33 pmHopefully putting some of Troy's old stuff on my car.

Seat covers, HID headlights, c6 z51 front rotors with yellow calipers all around IIRC. There's obviously lots of boxes and I forgot what half of it is probably. Those are the most likely to get done though.

Yeah, that was the plan, the KTM, C5 and E30 were just too many toys with everything else going on.
With the quarantine I've been rapidly knocking out big projects one at a time, I'll post more about those in the house thread.

I have a C6GS front sway bar (31mm), bushings and end links, all with 25K miles on them, for free.99 (shipping only) to whoever would like it. Cleaning out my garage during the extra free time. I replaced it with the ZR1 33mm front bar.
No, I'm not going to go ship it in the Corona dome, but when it looks like we might have this under control, I'll send it out.

USPS scheduled pickup has worked for me. I used it to send out my ebay sales last week and send some junk to Griff.

No joke he's saved me hundreds. If you like his price quote he'll email you the lable and you just tape it on the box and can probably have it picked up.

I once had a swaybar shipped to me in a pool noodle. Dude cut the pool noodle long ways and wrapped it around the bar, then packaging tape in various spots. Worked 5/7 and wasn't that expensive IIRC.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:41 amHeavy, long.
