took it for a 3.5 hrs cruise with the wife and kids..... but as always with old cars something broke. In my case it was the exhaust hanger clip that holds up the exhaust tips under the bumper on the DS that broke. The last hour every bump I hit the exhaust was banging around and drawing too much of my attention. I limped it home and it should be a quick fix with the welder some night after work this week.
While on the drive we popped into an open-house up Orangeville way. Nice 4 bdrm bungalo on 2 acres with an extra wide 2 car garage attached to the house. On the house tour I asked to see the garage ( this takes some real estate agents by surprise for some reason ) and when she flicked on the light there was a Burgandy 442 sitting in there under a car cover :eek:

Finally got to fix the exhaust hanger and it ended up taking me an hour and a half. Had to take it bracket off because both bolts broke. Then while it was apart it got a quick clean and paint, replace both broken bolts ( fishing the new one thru the frame was fun :) ). The welding part only took about 10 mins LOL

I hope your car is different from the GP where to remove the rear light assembly to replace a bulb you get to the fasteners from inside the trunk

I finally got around to replacing my entire dash. the original was severely cracked. Last summer I got one from a 84 bonneville that was in great shape. Over the last 3 days I cleaned and painted it with SEM paint, removed the old dash and installed the new one. while I was there I also replaced the silver faced idiot lights with the proper gauges along with installing a clock in the empty pod beside the speedo. Looks nice.

I pushed it home 2 miles after my accelerator pump took a sh*t :cry: Amazing that this happens a week before the only local car show I can make it to is happening.
