What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

[UC645]

Changed my brake pads on the front of the Bonneville and during the test drive, the passenger side brake caliper started dragging hard. I am pretty sure the brake hose has collapsed as they were both original to the car and the outer sleeve was breaking away on the passenger side. I have new ones on order but they won't be here to tomorrow. Hopefully driving 5 or 6 miles home didn't trash the caliper or rotor. It smelled bad enough that we had to close the windows in the house.

If it wasn’t on fire it’ll be fine.
Lord knows how many times I’ve dealt with that before.... 😆

That's right, just follow a semi-truck down a mountain highway. That driver is not stopping until he/she gets to the bottom unless it catches fire (or unless there is a good food/coffee shop).

Backed it out so I could install the LED shop lights. Couldn't resist this pic. I couldn't tell y'all how many times I've drawn this view over the years!

Installed the switches and door panels and got it out for a cruise around the neighborhood while it wasn’t over 100 degrees outside.

windows work great, especially with the relay setup. Locks don’t work. Very frustrating. I can hear the relay click so I know powers going to them, I’m wondering if it’s a ground issue. In the mean time though, I’m just happy the interior is back together and useable.

Finally! I got my Plates and Title today. Yay! . Now I have to wait to get the car out of the shop.

Took a couple of nights but made up a bracket and mounted cup holders to it with no butchery of the interior and is readily removable

Go ahead, thieve away!!. I just wish I could remember what kind of car I got that outta.
The cut out at the bottom was the big bonus for access to the console. The hackery I had to do on the bottom of the holder to make it flat was crazy. about half way though this I honestly thought I was just space saving the plastic for the garbage can
