So I'm keeping this science experiment of a paint job going, choo choo! I decided to take it to the next level and give the car more durability for Operation Superthrift by give it a solid coat of plastidip glossy clearcoat. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/DSC01353_zpsi9a854mx.j...

Door will do that from vibrations while driving... I think both the Indy and my Pink car have small fractures starting that I need to tack up. Well that explains a lot, I guess I learn something new about these cars everyday. Bring on the Beretta Pics! http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMa...

^^Thanks. This is what I meant about the door fracture http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/WP_20160331_16_36_23_Pro_zpsw2m7sykm.jpg I also took some black gorilla tape and lined the headlights as an appearance trick to make the headlamps look better fitted against the notorious pane...

For the most part, I'm pretty much done. I didn't bother painting the driver side door because I need a new one since the metal on the inside is literally fractured. I'll snap a pic later, it's actually really weird where it cracked+ the obvious dent on the outside. I still have to do a little more ...

Finally started with Operation Superthrift on the front end, laying down the basecoats. Not bad for two and a half cans of spray paint.

I sorta lost an endlink somewhere putting the car back together...Sooo totally got some new Mevotech ones to throw in there. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/DSC01166_zpsp6shcevb.jpg Also I'm doing a superthrift paint job which sounds like a fun way to spend my time. My car is li...

By the way Koots now has a 3400 Alero. Just so you know. that's awesome, I've always liked oldsmobile's styling before they kicked the bucket. http://planetcarsz.com/assets/uploads/images/VEICULOS/O/OLDSMOBILE/2003_OLDSMOBILE_ALERO//OLDSMOBILE_ALERO_2003_01.jpg I got slammed with a bad case of the ...

Well I had a little bit of a delay, this cylinder head decided to be different and require 2 threaded plugs to cover up some holes presumably left over from casting. So I had to order them. Probably overdid it on the thread sealer. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/WP_20160317_16_...

Oh dear God, it's been awhile since I've been on here! I've had a lot of drastic life events come up that kind of pulled me away, change of careers, becoming an uncle, other personal stuff, that's life for you! So yeah, I was totally at Bfest...in spirit. My dad decided to tag along at the last minu...

Today being my day off from work, it really wasn't a day off since I got the engine and tranny pulled out: http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/WP_20150527_15_00_59_Pro_zpsmkyz6nny.jpg And all it took was just 3 beers and some gatorade: http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMay...

Not too often you see people mess with the 2.2, im intrigued by this thread I really like the 2.2, it's the easiest thing in the world to work on and is a solid workhorse motor. Mpg isn't so bad, the best I've ever managed was 33mpg on an all highway trip to des moines doing 70. I was going to say ...

Well cracking the ol' girl open to remove the engine to ideally do a budget shortblock rebuild considering the timeframe. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/WP_20150521_19_37_51_Pro_zpshhbg1zvb.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y470/SkyMayFall1/WP_20150521_19_38_11_Pro_zpsczv...

Well I'm still fixing things as I go. As of right now, this car is in no way, shape or form ready to make a 900 mile trip to Mississippi. I have a solid month to see if I can get this thing in fighting shape before then but it's gonna be a close one. So I'm tackling the car to do list: first and for...

pm sent good sir

Reman with mods. Maybe boost... Boost would require me to run a standalone to tune it properly, probably a megasquirt setup. http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/pts/4942312754.html This guy is selling parts from a 2200 which wouldn't do me any good at this point until I figure out what my plan of atta...
