The 93 GM "Tank of Justice II" (TOJ2)

[SVT98t]

I did some work in the garage.
Well, enough so that the Tank is now in the garage. I had to wait for the snow to melt enough for me to move it. Actually, I still ended up shoveling about 2 feet of snow so that I could get it in the garage.
Regardless, it is now backed into the garage and on ramps. This weekend it will be on jack stands, and I might commence the gas tank removal along with the springs and shocks.
I have to solder in 2 connectors for the new sending unit. There's only a few inches of wire on the new sending unit.
Luckily, the harness for the car runs through the trunk, so I can actually do the soldering while sitting in the trunk as opposed to lying on my back.

I also picked up 96 PCM and OBD II port thanks to ScottMang and Ivan. (THANKS!!!)

Still stripping the paint, carbon, and dirt off the heads. The sooner those are cleaned up, the sooner I can wash, port, sandblast and powder coat them.

I won't be ready for the Green Grand Prix. It's such a shame. But this winter has been extremely cold and difficult to get shit done.

Maybe more updates tomorrow night.

I got the car up on 3-ton stands now.
Removed the rear sway bar. Removed the battery, and cut the 4 wires going into the sending unit.
Monday might bring the removal of the tank, and maybe the rear springs and shocks.
Considering making a JY run on Monday for a rear bumper, injectors, and a larger rear sway bar. And some connectors.

Hopefully this very very sick hooptie will live once again.


Still needs 5 speed.

[SVT98t]

I'm sure it will. In the next month or two.

Hey, I removed the tank tonight.
The last time it was out the Tank had the red stripe.
It held up quite well.


And yes, it says TOJ 2.


And because.


Ciao.

Is that the "air cooled" version??? LOL

[SVT98t]

That upper sleeve portion just crumbled in while I was trying to remove it.
And I'm sure this is an original, 22 year old, 225k mile shock.

I can't believe you are so wasteful. A perfectly good part going to the scrap heap. I am ... dismayed, I am concerned.. I am .. wait for it, SHOCKED!

[SVT98t]

Way to spring to conclusions, mang. Accuse me of wasting good parts. I'm set in my ways. You could strut your all your knowledge, and I still would not sway from my ideals.

You mean "we're in... suspension" ?

We're working on a solution. (Chemistry joke)

Alcohol is a solution.
