I hope you repaint it the same color, because it looks really good in the sunlight.

im still not sure if i'd repaint it but ya i would definitly have it the same color but would consider removed the top if i decide to go that direction

I plan to do a little work over my spring break, i need to jack my car up and check out my caliper bolts because when i brake and let off it too it clicks like its moving back and forth so i need to check that out, I also need to fix a fuel line leak which i svery small and i possibly may need to tighten up my transmission pan, worst case senerio for that is that i need a trans pan gasket, no big deal

ok i had to redo my rear brakes with new shoes and wheel cylinders so i got my drums turned and made them match my wheels

just a random pic

i got some good news on my cutlass today, i went going looking for my leak and hit 2 birds with one stone, i wasn't actually leaking gas it was transmission fluid and even better it was just the trans line from the radiator, so i can just cut the line on each side of the whole and replace it with rubber line and clamps. I expect to be putting the cutty on the road at the end of this month

In 1988 all G bodies made since introduction in '78 were recalled for the rear brake cylinder clips coming loose. The cylinder would then start to move, and wear out the mounting hole in the backing plate. This would eventually cause the cylinder to not line up with the engaging spots on the shoes and blow out. The new type cylinders will straddle around the upper spring mounting pin so the cylinder shouldn't move. Sometimes the backing plate holes are so worn out though you have to replace the plates. (No fun at all.) It's not uncommon to run in to G bodies that did not have the recall work done, just something to be aware of.
