My 05

[05 gt 5spd]

A very good idea I agree
If I had a gear set here I’d be tempted but looks like 3:55’s will stay for now

Points for considering it.

Cause like most of us, there’s only so much money to go around.

Starting the "fixed income" comments pretty early there, Fred!

I plan on living to 100, so it’s got to last ?

 

[05 gt 5spd]

A bit more done
Recycled LCA’s from Steeda are now installed - they work much better on the car than on the shelf in the garage.

A bit of paint on the brake calipers and we are ready for wheels .
The bushings were starting to loosen in both of the original arms

You will see a good difference with the LCA, even more as yours were almost 100% shot as per the pictures. Your post on the gear check does inspire, but made me realize i'll need to hire a real mechanic to check all of that hahaha

Looking good Gerry, I need to get out and see the progress.
Drink coffee and talk cars

 

[Mcdavis]

Looks good Gerry. I’ll have to drop by and see progress as well.

Washed the car today and got it back inside before the weather went nasty . A very quick detail to get rid of the water spots and now it’s covered up to keep the dust off for a few weeks until the next winter works project starts. Decisions- decisions.

i need more signs

 

[Ohtobbad]

You need more road trips, to get signs

Looking good Gerry!! Great progress so far and it's only January.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Good progress.
You will appreciate the LCA’s.

Good luck sign hunting.
It’s fun but can get a bit addicting, like die casts or anything else.
I’ve ordered a few from Garage Art over the years.
If you have US connection, they offer free shipping with purchases over $90.00 I believe.
Good selection too.

But it’s always fun to pick some up on road trips.

 

[05 gt 5spd]

Ordered some parts over the last few days, new bump stops on the way, new shocks for the rear (B6’s ) and a bit of adjustability for the rear suspension.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Nice!
You’ll appreciate the B6’s.

 

[Ohtobbad]

going to see a big difference this spring.

 

[S197CS]

B6´s, even just the rear, will transform the way she rolls!

 

[05 gt 5spd]

Pulled front wheels Friday night, checked brakes, all ok . Repainted calipers , wheel spacers , greased the front end (ball joints and tie rod ends ) wheels back on and torqued.

 

[05 gt 5spd]

A bit more done today - minor rear spring modifications, new B6’s in the rear, waiting on the modified stops from American Muscle

 

[05 gt 5spd]

Almost done
