that will soon pass and be replaced by anger and hatred, was so happy to have mine back together and drove for not even 2 days and it already broke..
just got done my pain in the ass front coilover install, driving to get an alignment and the f@#$^ lower rad hose blows about a block away from the alignment shop, so i get there and of course they cant get at the alignment bolts while on the rack since the coilovers are so tight so need to put it on the hoist and pull the wheels, then they cant get the thing on thier hoist.. its too low, luckily the alignment shop was only a block away from my dad's work, so took it their and threw it on their hoist to do the rad hose.. but of course cant find a lower rad hose for a typhoon no one has a listing for it, got one for a 4x4 blazer, isn't quite right but was able to make it work, adjusted the alignment bolts close to were they should be and took it home :rant:
so a few hours of fighting with it later and im back were i started.. still needing an alignment, atleast i wasted a whole day on something that should have taken a few mins :tdown:
Drove it for the first time in months, checked all the fluids, replaced the battery, and washed her. I always forget how much I love these things

Washed it, put in on jack stands to tighten up the exhaust and figure out how to stop the oil and coolant coming from my newly rebuilt turbo! Found there is some play in the shaft too! and noticed that my engine builder did not attach the front bumper cover/support right and now the support is cracked in 2 places. :rant:
Next week changing Oil to synthetic from Rotella T for engine break in. And figuring out how to get the truck back to the shop so the guy that did all the work for can fix the turbo and all the leaks!
August it's going in for paint and to put the cladding back on

Ripped out the rats nest of gauges that the previous owner put in and replaced with my own! Looking way cleaner. Also dropped the truck off at the tranny shop to get the shift points changed. Shifts into overdrive at 30 mph and immediately locks up! Drags her down to idle! Sucky to try to drive.

Lol I was thinking of making a Hurst Hairy Oldsmobile but in syty style!
One 27 spline and one 32 spline! I am keeping the 32 spline. The 27 is for someone else. Hopefully a contract comes through for him!

I doubt it. I won't drive it for another 4 months, so that the feeling stays the same:lol:
