    Did a little cleanup and replaced my fuel pressure regulator. Did the oil last week and next week is sparkplugs. After that full trans service. Oh joy.

    I finally got around to putting the new vapor barriers on my doors. Used purple duct tape!

    Adjusted/bent the metal track a little more on the pass side to make the window go up smoother.

    Found rough part that was causing etching on outer pass glass, fixed that.

    Also siliconed the rubber tracks real good, so we're good to go for a while!

    This is what I had to do just to get headlights removed so I could replace the headlight gaskets with new ones.

    Today I got new tires again. I'm now on my ninth set. I went with Cooper Discoverer H/T tires in stock size for the third time 'cuz they're so smooth and quiet. $125 each and $533 out the door.

    I had them mounted on a new set of used stock wheels. My old wheels were really beat up after 208K miles. I got a very good condition set with center caps from that wrecked VX at Green Point Auto in Maine. They were only $60 each and $290 to my door. So my wheels and tires are looking much better today.

    My old wheels had a lot of this kinda stuff-


    My new used wheels and new tires-


    Anyways, that's how I roll.

    Thumbs up

    This past weekend i done two little mods on my horse with little investment.......

    1rst i drop in two nice racing pedals in red color just to match the interior,bought them at pepboys auto for just $19.99,the store rewarded me with a $10.00 discount card for being a store customer preferral member. total paid ($ 9.99)

    2nd my bank (capital one) sent me by mail a $ 25.00 amazon.com gift card.
    I use it to purchase the GTS window vent guards i had in my wish list for a good while;I ended up paying only $14,95 (total $39.95)

    Wasn;t bad bad after all........

    Finished the railcap mod over the weekend, looks very nice. Not sure what to put the price tag at though, since I had to buy caps and a Dremel to do the cutting.

    Have just finished cutting/rewelding bumperbar on the one I got made up to replace the rusted out one. It was stretching the plastic. Thank god for helpful friends! Going to Wales for a week or so, hoping for snow on the hills.

    Going to be doing some detailing on the engine bay and changing my air intake to a cone filter type. If my greasable bushings come in the mail I'll be doing those as well.

    Most likely roving through 12" of snow. Looks like a keeper is headed to DC tonight through the weekend.

    Rick!
    Every time i come to read/post on the thread i feel so disencourage to do remove any thing when i look at your horse with all the front off just for two rubber seal.
    Man that's annoying......

    On other topic this evening/tomorrow i'll be finally replacing my OEM shocks for the ranchos RS5000 at sears autocenter.
