Cheers to the three of you!  |
Thanks RT58, it’s a labor of love

The PO of my car put a fantastic audio system in including Kenwood Double din unit, amp, speakers, etc. while I had the engine cover off doing some cleaning this morning, I noticed the old Bose base speakers behind my head were not plugged in.
Wow, I thought it sounded good before. Now it’s a whole new level! The dealer must not have plugged it back in after the last air filter cha GE or something.

On that note, anyone interested in some BBS SR's ?

Added 15mm wheel spacers to my fronts to match my rears. Let me looks good.
Swapped my old headlight assemblies that have the ubiquitous burned lenses with some used units that are in way better shape.
Now I have a set available to try some fancy-schmancy LED upgrades or something.

I'd never bucket a car wash again, that TORQ foam cannon is amazing

I figure a few more stickers will do it fine. LOL
I am really considering dropping on the louvers. That should complete the Meth look I'm going for.

This morning I.....finished reading this entire thread. About 3 weeks of reading a little bit every day. The main thing I took from this thread? JBauer has the best looking wheels that I've seen on a Box. Porsche Turbo 1 wheels I believe. I want them, but almost $8k for a set?! You could buy a base Box for that and have a whole a$$ car!

Installed my repaired CLU. And for the 1st time saw my interior lights on, have the windows roll down, doors lock and the alarm work. Luxury............I'm pretty happy about it.
And then my kid asked me to park the car outside so she could do something in the garage...........And it's raining hard here in the Pacific Northwest. Oh well............

Drug home another stray. Non-runner. 2000 Base. 5-speed. Bairritz White. Metropol Blue top and interior. Immobilizer got wet and has been sitting in the guys driveway for the past year. The Oklahoma rains of the past few weeks added to the wetness.
Unloaded it and started drying it out with the wet vac. Making a parts list. Dug through my project car parts shelf. Dyno wheels powdercoat Guards Red that I've had sitting for about 5 years waiting for a white car. Had a new set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports mounted earlier in the week. Clear headlights, clear corner markers, 550 SE taillights will show up tomorrow with the UPS truck.
Spent yesterday scrubbing and cleaning. Most of the (easy) electric stuff works; lights, turn signals, top, dash lights, HVAC panel, radio. Windows came down then stuck at 2/3 up when raising the top. I imagine its a bad microswitch in the latch assembly.
I'll get the immobilizer sent off to ECU Doctors and see what they say.
I needed another summer project. I now have one. I've been wanting a white/blue car for about 5 years.
A big Thank You (I think ) to Jon (78F350) for alerting me to the car, and for him and Woody for already helping with the advice and knowledge.
More to follow as it comes to life. (Think a Martini Racing livery) :dance:

Don't get me wrong Rick, but I would have been all over that car if I wasn't already out of space and in way over my head with other projects.

I sold a Boxster and just bought one bike. ...then realized that you can fit about four bikes in the space of one car ...and somehow there's suddenly six bikes here that can all use some maintenance.
Don't let it happen to you. Stay focused. That's going to be a cool car when you get it sorted.
