What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]

I feel for you all dealing with the freeze. It got down to 25 a couple nights. Broke both manifolds front and rear. Got a nice cold shower turning off the rear one that goes to the drip irrigation.

Yesterday morning at the low was 19 with a real feel of 10. Any standing water outside is ice. Not too common here.

I guess the pipes were frozen. Warmed up to about ~20 today and water is back. Odd that the washer was the only thing affected.

Could have just enough draft around it to give you grief.

Just a reminder why you like to live down south, it’s a short term thing. Not good for the crops though.

Yup, anything sensitive that I could move in my sunroom has been there for a few weeks. Saturday the high is 45, I've got an oil change to do so hopefully the sun is out.

Used to Chicago area before move to southwest, not missing the cold, but no yards around here have grass. Kind of depressing at times.

If you want warm and used to no grass, there's always Kuwait or Qatar. 🤣

 

[78Delta88]

Been to both. Only thing good about Qatar was the day on the wave runner.

We got stuck on Al Udied for 10 days, it was built up then so that helped. End of June so you didn't go outside from 0900-1800.

bought a tow-yard auction truck ('07 SIlverado) the other day so been getting it ready to roll.

-battery dead: replaced (and the stereo starts playing mexican music as soon as it got power )
-checked oil: black gold, sludge on the dipstick, and a quart low! (but no milkshake)
-radiator: over flow empty , poured a gallon in (sucked it all down)
-20" front tires: off the rim so got used pull-offs at Discount Tire (got 4 excellent tires for $20/ea with 9/32 left, $175 out the door with mount/balance! those tires are $190 each!)

started it up....no CEL or nothing. OBD code reader has 4 codes (3 ABS, 1 BCM)

Watched the Tucson auction, nothing to purchase.

Finalized final primer and wet sand with 800 grit, masked and ready to do the black.
