Bought a set of black leather buckets seats from a '06 GTO. Looking forward to some maddening fabrication while getting them to fit a G-body. I should have a picture tomorrow.

Painted the backs of my new seats. Hung my doors, put the trunk on and did a little wiring.

You a Jay-Z fan?

Not my style but he's got a few i'll listen to! Funny thing is I didn't know it was one of his songs till i googled the word "cashmere thoughts" the same day i posted that.



On another note i've been trying to get the car safe to drive to the music shop hopefully saturday. this morning i finished wiring my train horn switch, trunk pop, and an on/off switch for my compressor to where i can just drop my center console in and plug everthing to the switches. I've still got to re-thread one of my transmission mount holes,rtv the mr gasket water neck, and tighten rear control arms once i set my pinion angle.

I was going to double check my timing cause my set up on my distributor was not reacting like I thought it would...so I locked out my distributor and set up the timing gun to make sure I had 34º advance but my timing gun decided to not work any more. It was working yesterday but now I'm looking for a new gun. The old gun was a cheap one that I've had for about a decade so I can't complain... 8)

I found out I need a new left rear brake cylinder after discovering a random puddle below my tire. This sh*t is just adding up too quick :x When I parked it in November everything worked. Now I have no brake lights, no wipers, passenger side window wont go all the way down, and now my rear brake cylinder is leaking like crazy. Wheres the fun in this "hobby" :lol:

other than the wheel cylinder don't try to fix the other problems just yet. Each spring problems with electrical show up but give a few days they seem to correct themselves. I had all brake lites working but when a friend brought the car back from a little spin I had one bulb on the right side for brake lites. The right side is fed by the left so there had to be power going to at least one left side light. I took them apart and couldn't find any problems and they all worked when I put it back together. My parking lite right front finally starting working today...

Well the brake lights havent worked since around christmas time but they worked when I parked it about a month and half before then. The only way I found out was when I moved it into the garage my buddy asked me if I knew about my brake lights being out. I checked the bulbs, checked the wires and I cant find any obvious problems so im hoping its a $14 brake light switch. I have given up on the wiper motor and im lost on the window because theres no binding or anything. I just wanna drive it already
