What am I working on today-thread

Why? It's a damn good car. I'm replacing the stuff that was not done years ago, such as the MAF, Temp II, O2 and getting rid of these cheap plug wires.

That's all it seems to need, then some sharktuning.

I'm having a blast with it. I think the issues that it's had the last few months are due to the owner not being a wrench and too far away from a good mech. It will soon be in good hands.

Continuing on this week.

Tuesday I finished up a transmission cooling line rebuild on an '87, it also needed an odo gear replaced. That turned in to a nightmare. When pulling the needle off the shaft snapped. Figured it was going to happen sooner or later and had an extra one around for that reason. Then got it all back together only for the replacement speedo to want to burn itself out. So had to source another one from Roger. Try number three completed it. Lost $$ on that job. It happens though.



A/C rebuild on an 85 Euro yesterday and today, getting ready to fill it up with R-12. It also needed the rear cam tower gaskets replaced. Used the silicone ones from Roger also.



Have an '89 being dropped off tomorrow night for a bunch of stuff, and on Saturday have an '85us coming in for a freon top off. Then a 996 for some other bits also.

Busy week.

Great stuff Sean! I would love to pull up a chair with a beer and watch you work on Sharks all day.

Notice I said, WATCH! LOL

Hey, if you'll be a tool grabber and supply the beer, I'm all over that.


Decided to check my front wheel bearings on my car last night and found the inner one was crap. Had a bad noise and my hearing indicated that it was a rear one. Replaced it a few weeks ago and it did not cure the problem.







Got new injectors coming for it on Monday also.

Ooops, been a month since this has been updated. Had a lot going on and am happy to say I've been real busy with top end refreshes, turbo car tuning, super charged car tuning, coil over kit install, an '85 Euro with a passenger side camshaft breaking, two motor mount/pan gasket installs and a 996 that had a weird issue on changing the brake lines. The caliper to brake hose line corroded internally on all four. That sucked.



Good looking low mile one



'88 Grand Prix white with red interior



Found a zip tie in the pan. Car has not been apart before except for a TB/WP job.



Coil overs. Roger will be supplying kits soon on these. Not using the same stuff other vendors are using though.



Top of an '86.5



Busted cam, lucky it was caught before it went all the way. '85 Euro







Apparently I didn't take many pictures over the past month.

Don't know if I posted these, but worked on mine last month sometime. Re-did the intake.





Due to this hose splitting



Put in new 4 hole 19lb injectors too.
