Project newskin is underway.

RE: Project newskin is underway.

This is it for now. Still have to pull the front dash centerpiece and strip it down and paint it black with the pass airbag too. Thats for next weekend. Finally its all back together. I'll have to rent the steering wheel puller again to do the clockspring. That orange trouble light is drving me nuts, i put a piece of black electrical tape over it for time being.

RE: Project newskin is underway.

Thank you. Just ordered my MT ET streets from Super Coupe Performance, so i guess the battery box is next into the trunk. I have to replace my new air compressor that is making rattling noises already. My lifetime monroe gas charged shocks are shot already after one year service and rattling. those will be replaced with a dial setting shock of some sort. And finally get my cruise controll working. It hasnt worked since i bought the car way back in 1999 or so.
I have to get my chip reburned again to lower the shift point ceilings. 1st and second gear are still too high and hitting the revlimiter which is hurting my performance. I'm looking forward to running at Atlanta again.
A ton of nicknack little items like sparkplugs and stuff. And to finally figure out and stop the "low coolant" warning light on message center. I keep checking the level and its fine. Not running hot ever on temp also. One problem at a time i guess. lol
I also am going to put a reflective liner on the underside of hood to protect the paint from heat and some loose fitting sleeves on the cats to stop the radiant heat from cooking floor boards and rolling up around car and into my window at stoplights. You can cook a marshmallow with your arm hanging outside and down.

Heres some more. I removed my wiper blades arms also after getting sick of looking at faded and scratched finish. Let it be known that with this hood you have to do alot of jockying open and closed to get access to the tabs to remove arms. It's because the arms do not open out anymore due to back lip on back of hood in the way.
