Done? What's that?

Pinyix · 03-28-08, 10:28 PM

This is how I felt a year ago. Now I just relax and enjoy riding around.

pilotknob1964 · 03-28-08, 10:33 PM

I feel ya. I bought this car in Oct. for $1500. So far, I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, all belts, radiator/thermostat/coolant, oil change/tranny fluid change(or should I say PAID to have all of the work done). Now, it's been 88,000 since Water pump/timing belt replacement. I keep trying to sneak all of these repairs by the Chief Financial Officer. She's been pretty understanding so far. I keep this car in Atlanta(live in Minneapolis) so right now, tires on the Monte Carlo and minor repairs on the minivan are taking priority.

I laughed when I read teh first part of that because my wife says that. Knowing that there is no done, after completion comes evolution (not the car Mitsubishi makes but the process

).

I have got my list down a bit though as far as memory goes anyways.

-Install headunit
-install O2 sensors
-re-install innovate RPM reader
-tweek the HID's (maybe replace plastic inner bolts with metal)
-Clean it (Oh how bad it needs this)

Everything else is major and not on any sort of time frame

Man, sounds like you're describing my place/my wife. I have my complete set of Hrant mats, my new legend-specific remus, my refinished Levoc shift knob, my refinished console, my refinished wood console trim, three odometers (don't ask,) a set of JDM sills (I polished the aluminum and painted the grey plastic, black yesterday

) are still waiting to be installed, the black rear seat is also sitting (awaiting swap into my GS) in my entry way, my 1993L fogs refurb project (just need to polish out the pits in glass) is on the dresser in the bedroom, and I also have a second pair of JDM one-piece (HID project) headlights, sitting under my futon.

In the closet: my taillight-black-out project, "legend" license plate, and other misscellaneous Legend items.

I'm not even gonna go into whats in my shed in the back yard. LOL
A Legend enthusiast's job is never done!

On the way to my home: Wilwood's brake kit and koni's yellow sport kit (I can hear my wife's mouth already.)

P.S. My kids are not allowed near my project areas, this is why (and where my wife comes in) I really need to complete them all, ASAP.

It's good to have an understanding wife.

95LegendGS · 03-29-08, 01:52 AM

I see your list and triple it. Thats mine. Good thing I'm paying someone else to do it all ha

whats77inaname · 03-29-08, 02:00 AM

Nothing better than working on your own car, man....doing what you can, when you can. When I finish, I'll be able to say, "I did that." And that's one of the best feelings in the world.

95LegendGS · 03-29-08, 02:03 AM

Well I'm paying for it haha. But I'm traveling the US while my car sits at the mechanics he's doing all the work.

The Crowing · 03-29-08, 03:07 AM

You know you have a problem when it looks like the casting stage for overhaulin in your very own driveway and there are boxes of parts stacked to the ceiling in your room!

I only have the weekends to do shit, however its really tough to get motivated after dropping a G at the club and hung over as shit.
