I did some labor trading with another GN guy and on I got a new passenger fender painted and I'm going to try to get that hung today so I can get the front bumper and spoiler back on. I think it will sit a little lower in the front when I put a trans back in it and after it settles in a bit.
This car has needed this new fender for so long. The old one had a hole cut in it from the previous owner and I had patched it up for the short term. I've had the badges for it sitting on my desk for a couple years and it's nice to finally see them go on. I still need to tweak the bumpers and need some shims, but this was the new look I was hoping for.
I really did not expect to be able to buy a trans this quick, but it's here. I sold my enclosed trailer, now that this is a "street car" and it helped quite a bit. Now I need to get back to work and get it in the car.
I got the flywheel and clutch a few weeks ago.
McCleod said I would be more than fine with an F-body slave, so I bought one and a tick speed bleeder.
Mike, the car looks great. These have always been one of my all time favorite rides. Good call on the Tick remote bleeder. I elected to not use a remote bleeder on mine, and I ended up having to build a special wrench to reach the factory bleeder. Keep at it!
I just love the GN's, these are still such a bad azz looking car! I have a friend up here in IL that still has his 87, his is a street car but has been in storage for a long time now. Last time at the track it went 9.0 yeah street car!!
