holy smokes guys this thing really died off in a hurry!!
where did everybody go!!
No I haven't lost interest in my TGP...I don't think I could lose interest in it...I just don't have much to post about here at the moment.
It's summer time, people are out enjoying life and their TGPs!! I just finished a total restoration of a TSTE, dropped the subframe and sandblasted then spray on hard truck bed liner, new a-arms, suspension, new wire looms, painted all the tranny and power steering lines, painted the entire engine bay, new fuel tank, fuel pump and filters, new speakers and CD/radio, recored the radiator, gone through eveything on this car, rebuilt the engine fully and total paint/coated, and about to install the custom street/strip racing blue clutches in the tranny to finalize the performance tranny kits, turbo work after 7 months of waiting and working to get one that will bolt back in should be about reading when the tranny and engine are back in, lots more but that is just one project that keeps me off the boards. Fixed up another TGP this way that left earlier this spring, fixed up 2 other cars and sold them, replaced all the sensors, ign mod, coils, wires etc on a stock TGP I have here for testing of this turbo coming, even got my 2003 taxes done last week, busy but just a small sample, never sleep, that is for when you die! BUT, TGP fix-me emails are still coming to me regularly even if the board goes silent :lol:
Later!

If you have not herd...there is a little conflict in Iraq (14 months off and on thus far).
Will be going to Afganastan for 1 year next spring....
Became certified as an automotive instructor for Central Texas College, teaching 3 nights a week & working (like all of us) does not leave much time for working on TGP (I mean improving) & being on the boards.
Spending a lot of time fixing other peoples cars.
Enjoying going to awesome automotive museums like the (Galleria Ferrari) in Muldona It, the Bugatti museum, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Masseratti, so many museums, soo little time.
I've got 1 in my garage (isn't mine) and one in my drive.. No way in hell am I losing intrest in these cars!
I haven't lost interest in my TGP either. Its just not on the top of my to do list right now (my 1967 Plymouth is at the top :twisted: ).
Mine's been in the shop for 3 months now doing a complete swap. getting it back this week.... Then I've got to hit it to prepare for GPG04 in Sept
UGH
hey good to hear people arent losin interest!!! shwew i was begining to worry
Well mine has been gone all summer, just got it back bout 2-3 weeks ago with the 5 speed in it. Between going to school for automotive (Yeah, f*ck that labor cost nonsense! Woot woot!) full time and working full time, doesn't leave much me time to post. I am either doin homework or sleeping. Being all grown up sucks! I love my TGP, my parents are on my ass to get rid of it, but now that im in automotive, it will be a good project car to bring into the shop and get er into tip-top shape! Oh and you should see the heads turn when I leave the building and theres the swoosh from the BOV as I let off the gas :lol: :lol:
My 91 TA is almost running again, I'm concentrating on that now. Once it is, I'm gonna take the STE off the road and do some things to it. Rockers, gauges, struts, and bov.
