I tried to post this about a week ago...got distracted or something. Anyway, it's ALL about the music! He has poured his heart and soul into being the best guitarist he can...if he's not doing homework (or chasing women with me :L ), he's practicing. Gotta give the kid credit for the sheer...

Sitting in the garage collecting dust...GREAT condition original '89 wheels with center caps. There's no chance I'll ever want to go back to those...no point in keeping 'em around. They do have Pirelli tires on them, but the tires are not worth anything. Aside from age, the two from the rear...

This all started driving home a few weeks ago...went to take off from a red light and the engine started "surging" and eventually died. Would not start back up. I had been wanting to address the exhaust system anyway, and in doing so found the main cat was full of pieces from a disintegrated...

This month marks the 4th anniversary of the day my resurrected, very "unique", '84 committed suicide in my garage/driveway. I'll never forget this 'ol girl.

Some may remember this lil dude from CF '07 in Colorado... Here he is today... What a Ride it has been!

Set of stock '89 wheels in VERY good condition, with center caps. With tires that I was running (and drove just fine), but the tires are not of any value as two of them are pretty much worn down. Looking to get $400 for the set. Located in Colorado. More pics here: misterbill.dyndns-home.com...

'89 with the climate control system...recently installed new AC Delco water pump but heater output turns cold at idle. I know coolant is flowing as both heater hoses remain hot when the engine is idling and the heater output turns cold, and there is no issue at all with engine temperature. I...

So pulled the drive shaft in my '89 convertible to replace the u-joints and discovered that they used a 2-piece yoke with a rubber torsion ring (similar setup to the engine balancer), and it is bad...center section is "cocked" sideways (probably due to vibration from the bad u-joints). What I...

Friend of mine is restoring a early (86 I think) Convertible and the cross-brace (or X-brace) that bolts to the bottom of the car is missing. If anyone has one or knows of a lead on one of these please do let me know. Thanks! Bill

Well it took a year (I literally could not sit in one for quite some time without freaking out)...and it still ain't much but I'm back in the saddle baby! '89 black/tan/tan in pretty darn good condition considering I got it for $4800! 130K miles, few fixes needed here and there, couple...

"Vettie" is the nickname my son gave the car long ago. I went out to the garage, got in the car, started it up...all was running perfectly fine. Then out of nowhere *POOF* loud backfire under the hood. I saw the flash of flame when the backfire happened, and immediately pushed the car...

Throttle bodies: Pair of 2" over-bored with throttle shaft bushings installed. $200 Pair of stock bore size with throttle shaft bushings installed. $100 Pair of tested 90lb/hr injectors, GM 5235231. $100 (EDIT: these are the 80#/hr injectors 17084304) (2) pair of untested (but...

This seemed like an appropriate place to post this... Ok first of all what is a water manometer and what do we use it for: Simply, to measure very small amounts of vacuum. A water manometer measures the same thing as a typical vacuum gauge, but in inches (or whatever unit) of water instead of...

The main purpose of a catalytic converter is to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, the lesser of two evils so to speak. Well one of the "side effects" of this chemical reaction is a "chemical integration", or average, of sorts (I am not a chemistry expert, but work with one)....and this...

Mine is sure a loooooong story getting to where it is now...which is currently the engine being pretty much scattered all over the garage! :L What started out as hunting down a vacuum leak and fixing a front main oil leak has evolved into a full cam and head swap. I am going from a hydraulic...

...upon removal of the leaking water pump I found this: Luckily I caught it before it started digging a hole into the timing chain cover! <sigh> always something... Bill

I have been noticing the unmistakable odor of engine coolant any time I fire the '84 up, and finally found the source to be the cheapo rebuilt water pump (probably from Autozone or something like that). There is a plate mounted to the back of the pump that is leaking. Of course I don't even...

The 'ol basket case 84 turned 190K last weekend. Wonder if I can rack up another 10K over the winter... :D Bill

I know there are some of you C4 junkies...errr I mean enthusiasts...out there that like to do your own engine tweaking/tuning (as opposed to paying someone else for a "chip"). For those that do, this little gizmo may be of interest... http://www.speedtronics.net/aboutprominator.asp It...
