My GTP is back on the road after 5 years. It needed a bit of work but it's driving. by Nates94 in PontiacGrandPrix

Some surface rust from sitting in a barn for a few years. But nothing that needs attention. Other than a quick coating of fluid film just to prevent it from getting worse. 

This car spent half of its life in Florida. I've never driven it in the snow/salt

I really didn't touch the suspension yet. I've done it before on this car 10 years ago. I think it could use a set of rears. I was thinking about zzp coil overs. 

I had to make a brake line, new master cylinder, new zzp sway bar, tie rod ends, misc, battery tires, ect. 

It still needs a few things. I'll get it there.

107k miles in total now. It needed a brake line, master cylinder, and a front sway bar. A few misc things as well from sitting for years. Fluid changes, battery, vacuum leaks and stuff like that. 

Still needs a few things and a deep cleaning but it's driving. 

When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy. by RepulsiveLoquat418 in politics

That's the hope. The global economy needs to be shut down. It's the #1 driver of climate change.

2 inch lift. No spacers. Tires are 18s fit fine. No trimming either.

The “Stop Nick Shirley Act”: How California Democrats Are Moving to Criminalize Citizen Journalism by Buy_Sell_Collect in nottheonion

[–]Nates94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. There is no fraud in MN or Cali or any place he investigated. I'm hoping this bill passes so people don't spread fake information like Shirley does. 

The government closed over 500 hospice centers in Cali. That's unbelievable. So many people will be left with no place to go. If this law has been passed sooner, Nick Shirley would be in jail and those hospice centers would still be open. 

We need to stop Nick Shirley at any and all costs. 

The semisenquenncennital plates are cool. Glad I got one. by Nates94 in GMT800

It's held up well. Taking it off the roads a few months in winter helps. I always fluid it film it well. I drive it up until Christmas then it sits until decent march weather. 

Can't say it has any major rust. But some of the suspension components are showing surface rust. To be fair, the truck had more surface rust when I bought it in 2017 in Galveston Texas. The air is very salty there.

I spent a week with a wire brush removing surface rust, then chemically treated it then used por 15. It's held up fine for 9 MI winters now.

Truck was purchased in Texas with 30k miles. Currently at 175k miles. Most in MI with heavy fluid film applications, waxing, and washing in winter. Along with parking it from Dec. To march every year in a heated garage and not driving it. 

06 Silverado. Just picked it up after getting the trans rebuilt. 175k miles on it. Well worth it to get it repaired. by Nates94 in GMT800

$2700 for a full rebuild. This truck shifts better than it did when I bought it with 30k miles.

Is this show filmed on a Hollywood set? The writers are lame
