With reference to some of the other "Ramblings and Chatter" threads, I concur: there's WAY TOO MUCH whining going on here!

I love this site!

Vikki's is probably great too -- I just don't have enough time to drop by there much.

`Nuff said - let's talk about our birds! (Beer and sports are also good topics.)

So, what projects did everyone work on over the winter?

I'm not finished my work yet, but I picked up one of these:

Isn't it pretty? I think so!


I also picked up one of these:


Some of the more experienced people around here tell me I'm supposed to bolt it on top of the shiny blue thing in the previous picture.

I think they're going to look even better when they're inside this:



Okay, confession time: I'm a bit of a exhibitionist!

New driver's side floor...


New carpet, refurbed the trunk, added 400 emblems


And a bunch of minor beautification projects.

Dave, don't forget to take the bubble wrap out of the intake.

Those are "speed bubbles".
50 hp increase just by putting them in there!

Shouldnt there be a sticker that says NOZ on the speed bubbles?
or maybe just R....?

and "winter" happened on a tuesday here ,didnt get much done on the car , since I worked late at the ofc that night... :rolleyes:

I kinda like the look of a milk crate valley pan.

You need a vacuum pump with power brakes and the milk crate pan.

Like a clown dressed up like Superman wearing a bib!

I can see it now, a new thread. I hear a popping noise from the engine!!! Gotta luv those bubble wraps.I think there is a web site dedicated to it. Get her done Ron

Since every one is posting pics of their winter projects here is mine...

I'm just now getting to ordering a few things for spring projects. I have a list of about a half dozen parts that need to be restored or replaced to further my originality quest.

I've really been eyeing the NPD original-looking spiral shocks but don't yet know if they are any good.

My LeMans still has the factory spiral shocks, and although the originality is very cool, the ride from the KYB Gas-A-Justs in the 'bird offers MUCH better responsiveness. If you like the wallowing feel of oil shocks, go for it!

I'm going to put new trunk letter's on,paint and install my sail panel's, and all the interior window moulding, I greased my sticking speedo cable,had the driver's caliper rebuilt it was leaking, touch up the engine paint and a few other small thing's that I can't think of now.

Blue, where did you get those cool bird valve stem cap's ?

Hey Doug they were off eBay about $15 as I remember. Took a quick look and don't see any there at the moment.I'll take a look around and see if I can find the seller's info for you. Good quality USA made caps.

Thanks Dude I would really like a set of those.

Doug, the only info I have is the email address. It's TVGCAPS@COMCAST.NET Hope that works and you are able to get a set.

Thank's, I'll check it out.

Dave,

Theres bubbles in your intake. Right where the carb sets into.

You'll need to remove them for the car to operate correctly.
