Unlocked the door and tried to open it......Walked around to the passenger door, unlocked it tried to open it......Back over to the driver side, pushed all around the door seal, tried to open door.......It wound up staying home, as the the doors were frosted shut :rofl: . At least I know better than to yank it open, I really don't want to buy new door handles. :lol:

yeah Frozen doors are no fun,,,but thats when the hot water comes into play...

Or spare vehicles that spent the night in the barn allowing for easy entry :rofl: .
 
parked it for the winter I guess unless the weather gets better and I get motivated to drop in my spare transmission....my T5 WC locked up in 3rd last nite but I was able to get it out of gear so I was just using 1-2-4 which worked fine for a while but seeing the 3-4 shifting fork is the problem it wasn't too long before 4th was locking up too...so I bought the sticker for the Jeep and that's what I'm driving for now.. 🙂
 
Put on a new alternator and a summit catch tank.Also cleaned up my interior a bit.Took some pics of me and my bros G bodies.

Took out the right side header, and moved the battery to the trunk. Ran all the cables, greased the upper ball joints, and installed the battery cut-off switch. .

Went to put my new header in and it hits the head bolts. Will have to grind it tomorrow.
 
Let it idle for a half hour on Saturday, cause all it frickin does is rain here in Washington.. :x
 
Finished up all my gauges and all works fine...alot of wires and I went crazy trying to figure it out...but it's done!!

I unbolted the dash and removed the a/c ducts. Now I just need to install the a/c delete ducts. I was thinking of cuttin holes in it and connecting up the side vents cuz I don't have the vent block-off pieces. idk yet. I also picked up a interstate battery for it wednesday. I noticed my carb is intermittently gettin fuel while seein why it doesn't fire up right away. It has a new fuel pump and a used tank. I think there may be an issue w/ the sendin unit.
 
looked at it sitting on jackstands and under a tarp for winter......
 
Took the Cutlass out for a take the long way (20 mile) fuel up.
WOW....... it been 15 yrs since I drove it.
All the time, blood, tears and long waits are worth every minute.
Handles like a new car. And the 350 has a good beat.

Aw man do I really have to put it away........ 8)
