I'm at University West this year. Been too busy with the first week of school to even wash the Monte this week!

 

Got a start on the front area! Going to go out and get a second coat on it soon. Hoping it dries so I can get the upper radiator support masked off and painted Got something else in store for that. Still haven't totally made up my mind lol..






Thought I'd try and save this lol.. can't finda new one anywhere worth justifying the cost. May make something custom to mount my battery or possibly re-locate it.

 

Nice, looks like all the work is going well! That area down beneath the headlights is a notorious rust spot. I know I started to have some of that issue on my 03 but it seemed to stay confined to just that area.

 

Keep up the good work

 

Thanks! And yeah my under headlight area hasn't really spread much over the last year. Hopefully it will never spread now

Thanks! I'll try

The Por15 is absolutly amazing so far haha! Dries extremely hard. I know, I know, it's only been a few days but really, it looks like it should hold up very well

Made a massive purchase from rock auto and SSC, also some things from Advanced Auto (had a gift card otherwise I'd never buy from them lol). Should have some pretty impressive results here in a couple weeks. Total suspension overall

Found out that the boot was shot on my drivers side half-shaft/axle. I have two new axles that will be going in along with a bunch of other stuff. Hoping it will solve my vibration/shaking issue.



Front struts/sway bar/control arms/axles all coming off for some upgrades and replacements

 

Got everything pulled Surprised I was able to get 'er done with no air tools. Hopefully I'll have a small set-up in the future. But for now, wasn't nothing a breaker bar couldn't handle.

Just hanging out, waiting on rock auto to ship me a truck load of parts


All nasty


Got a start on cleaning it up



^^^^Yes I keep the cooler that close at all times

Bye, bye 11 year old junk


Thats all for now All of my parts from rock auto should be here by Saturday. No clue how long it will take to get my springs from SSC. Hopefully I've got this side ready to rock next weekend so I can get the car switched around to the other side of the garage and start wrenching on the passenger side. THEN, I'll be able to start with my Por15 underside rust conversion/removal

 

Rear's looking a little better You can see the tire now!!! No longer tucked up underneath lol.



Went ahead and bought a caliper paint kit too.. figured it would be a good time while everythings out of the way. The brush that came with sucked tho Good thing I had some foam ones out in the garage.

 

Yeah the brush that comes with the brush-on caliper paint kit isn't the greatest thing; one reason why I went with the aerosol spray caliper paint this time. Anyway, looks great so far! I think it took seven to eight total days for shipping when I ordered my springs from SSC. You're a little closer to Vancouver so that should be a little less for you.

 

Thank you! My SSC springs should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. About a week.. not too bad.

Found this at my door upon getting home from class, not all of it but it's a start

I feel like a little kid on Christmas opening up my new toys
