...from its winter slumber.

But it looks like rain out, and have some parts I want to install on it so I brought it home and put it in my garage.

Nice Matt! looks good!

Can't wait to meet up this summer and see the car again! Hopefully I'll have my turbo CS ready and we can meet up later on in the summer too!!

GOT2B GM · April 15, 2007, 04:04:48 PM

Yeah sounds good, I'm really looking forward to having a couple meets.

bake82 · April 15, 2007, 05:45:42 PM

Me 2. We need to have atleast one big one...I'd be willing to make the trip down for a weekend even if there was only a couple of us.....Lets try and set a date soon in May...maybe just maybe I'll put my TGP on the road and drive it for a bit and come down....

GOT2B GM · April 15, 2007, 05:50:19 PM

Yeah thats a great idea!

yeah I had thought about registering mine a few weeks ago, good thing I didn't cause we got about a foot of snow here last night. Mother Nature sucks this spring. Give us a break, I want to turn off my furnace!!

Looking good though! Didn't you have rims for it too? Where are they?

GOT2B GM · April 16, 2007, 03:07:25 PM

GOT2B GM · April 16, 2007, 03:23:00 PM

I <3 your car.

That box was actually from the bearing I put in my g/f's Alero. SKF was the brand, made in the USA, there are the same quality as Timken.

I am however, considering putting new front wheel bearings on the TGP while its all torn apart.

Update: Yesterday I went to my parents house and dug up the 34mm front swaybar I had set aside for use in the TGP. I used a minigrinder and cleaned any loose rust/paint off of it and then painted it with POR 15.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE SWAYBAR WITHOUT LOWERING THE REAR OF THE SUBFRAME

Believe me, I tried.

Lowered Subframe:

New VS Old
