Two new pictures of my TGP(those that browse the W' board and here might have already seen these). They're fairly large, so I'll just link them here for those users on dial-up. :wink:

Yes, I know, those foglights are dirty(I'm pretty sure it's inside as I've tried to really clean them on the outside and it made very little difference.  Do the foglights come apart easily or are they sealed?  If they're sealed, I'll likely try to get some new ones sometime soon.

I'll add another picture tomorrow when I unload it from my camera(it's a night picture, so it probably turned out kinda crappy).  I now have access to a better digi cam(my brothers 5mp Sony Cybershot), so I hope to do a nice photoshoot of the TGP soon(probably at a few places in the city here, I need to find some places with nice scenery to take some pictures at. 8)


Now everyone else get out there and take some new pics of your cars! :D

EDIT:  here's the other picture I said I'll add

I think that picture *almost* takes the cake for the worst picture I've ever snapped. :lol:  I didn't try with a flash since I figured that would end up like usual(a big flash reflecting off the car in the picture).[/img]

Does your gas guage drop that fast??  LOL.  I think I'm having problems either with injectors or with a vac leak.. soon to be digging into that.  My other TGP would go almost 70 miles before it moved off full.  This one is about 20.  Stinks when you start it up too.  Hopefully I can find the problem.

Nice cars guys! 8)  What's the best way to clean the grime and imperfections off these wheels?  I used a toothbrush yesterday to clean the gold, but the stainless needs some TLC.

Beautiful car Ryan! That makes me want a red TGP! 8)

I currently get about 26mpg average(about 80% highway, 20% city driving), so I would say you have a problem somewhere if you're using up that much gas(unless you're keeping your foot in it the whole time you drive :D ). As far as the wheels goes, I usually just go at them with some mild carwash soap/water solution.  I clean them with rags, "bottle brushes," old toothbrushes, etc.  The wheels are one of the most time consuming parts of cleaning the car if you want them really clean.  I have used diluted Simple Green cleaner on them in the past and it helped to break up some of the grime & brake dust on the wheels.  If the lips of the wheels are really bad, you might have to use some fine sandpaper to take down the clearcoat and then have the lips recleared.  I'm eventually going to sand off the clearcoat of my wheels and "hi polish" them, and then keep a coat of "ZoopSeal" polish or some other good wheel polish on them.  I've polished part of the upper intake/plenum on my 1993 Grand Prix and it's stayed nice and shiny so far(I wipe it off every now and then with Mothers mag & aluminum polish).

That's the good side of the car.. I need to have some of the imperfections on the body taken care of.. I don't know when I will be able to get to that.  I don't know if I trust myself to do it .. I will have to have someone that will guarantee it.  There are some problem areas on the lips, which I would like to take care of.  I used a toothbrush last night to clean them up, but it still aren't as clean as they could/should be.

Nice.  It's cleaning up nicely.  How much longer before it's ready, and wouldn't it look better lowered?   :wink:  :lol:

Remember this pic? I had it for a sig on w-body for awhile.




I found a complete set of ground effects already painted that color. Getting them next week.

Taken two weeks ago after several hours of washing, clay bar, polishing, waxing.  
Just had the exhaust done so need new pictures....




Gotta love that doing a brand new 2.5" exhaust and it is still a turd and a half off the line till about 2500, powerbrake does nothing, its terrible, built engine, JeffM Chip/Crossover, several other goodies, and it still crawls off the line like a turtle :x  :evil:
