I hope you're not looking to see a show quality paint job... I've still got the dang sticky crap from the strips across the doors.Originally posted by

Well, it won' take more than 2 hours TOPS, to install it. I just need the converter here in time for me to install it. Now I have to catch up with the cleaning!
I need to re-install the 3rd LED in my line lock indicator.
Then put my right side dash back together.
I've still got 75% of the car to wax!!
Wheels need to be cleaned, just for good measure.
Tires need to be shined.
I need to do a quick clean inside.
A little wiping on the engine area, I'm not going to spend all day there. (Though I prolly should)
Alright so no more hangin out at the friends house....going home now to work on the Vic.Comment

That's nothing to worry about. My girls' paint and body aren't in the best of shape, either.I hope you're not looking to see a show quality paint job.
I don't know about you, but I'm gonna have to re-wax and shine when I get out there. No doubt she'll get rained on somewhere along the trip.
Did you do anything different with this tranny, or did you just do a quick rebuild?Comment

silly people and your wax jobs. Hell, my car isn't even ABLE to be waxed. If I want it shined up, I'll have to wet sand the hood and trunk because the PO's spraypaint job on them.

Well, that's what I did to the virtical portion of the trunk lid. Got overspray from my rust clean up on the outside. And I don't have a clear coat paint job.
