Oil change and installed a Spohn adjustable panhard bar to even out the rear axle. The second I got under it all I could think was “Why didn’t I get sway bars and rear adjustable arms?!?!”

A car that has NO business passing emissions passes every year because a computer tells them the air is good. Im so lucky theyve never actually done a VISUAL inspection of my car. Now I get to pay my registration. Im slightly less excited about that.

I did not hit full size image, maybe smaller on desk top?



My Brothers Vette, today, heading to the shop. After he cruised it home from storage, gasoline was flowing out the carb, down the manifold etc. Glad it did not catch on fire.

Our Father bought it back 1983 from a neighbor.

I learned how to drive stick in this thing back

Maintenance day! Akebono front pads, new belt, cleaned throttle body, swabbed the intake tube, changed the filter and put tint film on the headlights (drivers side looks like ass, gotta redo it).
Still have to change plugs and wires and put the new billet T connectors on the rear coolant lines but I’m pushing that off until my old sore ass recovers from working around the house all weekend.

Plugs and wires are finally done and I didn’t cripple myself in the process!! Plugs weren’t even that bad and number 8 on the passenger side came out way too easy (thank God) with the wobble socket and multi angle ratchet. Start to finish in under 2 hours and the MSD wires that weren’t supposed to fit are fine, just a little long.

Which ones are these? I see there are a few options

I went with the "Type-M" mounting bracket, as its the same setup as the eBay fog lights used, that the custom brackets on the car were originally made for.


They're not a direct drop in replacement for my vehicle. All the factory fog light mounts were broken off when I got the car.
