Fuck yo couch.

I actually got to work on my car last night. Try and button up the small things that I either have lying around, or I just keep putting off and need to finish.
-Topped off the oil
-Installed the SilverStar amber markers. They look really cool though the lens. I'll take a pic later and post.
-Replaced RUN switch. It broke about 2 weeks ago. I bought the switch right away. Just got around to doing it.
-Replaced the rear passenger window motor bushings. We tried to do the front one, but my Dad accidentally broke the fron motor. So now I need to acquire a front passenger window motor. Atleast my windows are 3 for 4 on working!!

Time to get the car ready for Saturdays dyno run. I could not find my stock intake, which means, no stock intake test. This makes me a sad panda. Oh well....

Come borrow the factory intake off my 92. It's all stock still.

[SVT98t]

Done. Will do. You are a life saver!!!!!!!!

Dyno time has been moved to next saturday. Conflicting schedules. I also went through the car wash yesterday. I figured, since it hasen't rained in the past few weeks, why not get it done. And so, it rained last night. Blahh.

Picked up a 1 ton engine stand and a "transmission dolly" yesterday. I actually get to start working on the motor tonight. Mainly because it's finally under 90*. So, there will be some pics later. And stuff.

Well, the left rear brake bracket is toast. The top slide pin broke off and egressed, and the bottom one stripped out the threads and egressed.
So, the Tank is down until I get a new(er) bracket monday.
In other news:
The captain of my hockey team owns a junkyard and I paid him a visit last week. Wow. All domestics. And a bunch of Panthers, especially CVPIs. There's a few 07s there and stuff. And one with a bad ass push bar. I'm thinking, heated mirrors, AC, one touchup windows.

pushbar FTW!

keep an eye out for a 93 CV trunk reflector (not sure what all years used that exact piece). If you can bring one with to SF... I'll buy it from you (and promptly install it on my 93 vic)

Only 93 and 94's. (92's had just the chrome strip with no reflector)

Also, i need to find/make a pushbar for the 91 so badly.

And I still need to stop by and pick up that stock intake before I dyno.

Heading to the junkyard tomorrow to pick up:
-leaf rear brake bracket assembly
-both tail lights
-header panel
-grill
-headlights
-throttle body from an E-series

Then everything should be painted (real paint, no spray paint) and should be installed by wednesday. I hope. It'll look puurdy.

Should be good can't wait...

I'm here to fuck shit up

So, I managed to strip out the slide pin on the only 92-94 Panther in the junkyard. The good thing is, that the 95-97 will also work. But I do have to take the axle shafts out to get the bracket. This makes me a sad panda.
Anyways, I did pick up a undamaged header panel with 2 unbroken headlights and unbroken grill for $40. And I got that throttle body too(which ended up being the wrong one)
So, tomorrow!!! Left rear caliper bracket! Black! Left rear caliper! GREEN! 2 new Energy Suspension rear swat bar links! And 2 new Energy Suspension front sway bar links!
And maybe some green action on the new PI motor. We shall see. I have a lot on my plate tomorrow!
