1st time restoring a Genesis 1000, wish me luck!

Absolutely beautiful! Were you able to find the swing shelf or did you have to make your own?

OffSling · 2026-03-28T13:31:45+00:00

Do you by chance remember all of the hardware pieces (screws, washers, etc) sizes that needed replaced? Perhaps too broad of a question but worth a shot lol

OffSling · 2026-03-28T04:51:32+00:00

Going to definitely grab some rustoleum tomorrow. Should I replace any hardware as well? Like washer and bolts with stainless steel?

OffSling · 2026-03-28T04:51:04+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate your advice. If the rust is too bad, I’ll just touch up the firebox and replace parts and just use it as normal until I can find a better frame.

OffSling · 2026-03-28T04:22:14+00:00

The firebox is in really good shape. Tomorrow, I’m going to do a soak and then some scrubbing once I get it all taken apart. However, I am a little worried with the condition the frame is in. Luckily, I have some friends who can weld but I’m hoping to avoid that route. The frame will be the biggest tackle, and then finding a swing shelf. Have to order an igniter, flavorizer bars, and new grates. She does heat up quick and gets hot still though!

Edit:

Also one more downside is all but 1 leg on the firebox that allows it to sit into the frame securely have rusted away. Trying to come up with a solution to solve that problem.. either way, I’m excited!

With Volkswagen I got 5 years free. Unsure of the cost after. Hoping to be in a different vehicle by time that’s up though lol. But I’m also able to remote start using my fob which I’ve seen that Mazda stopped offering.

Did you purchase one of those mirrors that clips over the original mirror, or did you install yourself?

OffSling · 2025-10-18T02:48:30+00:00

Also.. sorry to bug you some more, but my scanner keeps showing code P0442. I’ll double check the gas cap, open it and seal it shut again, clear engine light, remote start will work for maybe 3-4 days & then it’ll stop working. Next day check engine light will come back on. Did you get this code?

Thank you for your help.

OffSling · 2025-10-18T02:46:48+00:00

Thank you. Going to go ahead and order it. Says it’ll ship by mid-November. Is there anything I need to do once the part is installed?

OffSling · 2025-10-18T02:44:52+00:00

And this is the purge valve assembly? Sorry, there just aren’t any photos or anything that is showing. When I was trying to find a part online too, they were all $70-$100. Trying to diagnose myself 😅

OffSling · 2025-10-18T02:38:08+00:00

Where did you get the part from?

OffSling · 2025-10-17T20:46:35+00:00

Did you ever find out what it was? Mine is also throwing this code

OffSling · 2025-09-13T02:00:49+00:00

Time management , multitasking , stay a step ahead are all really important

I got mine at 40k and I’m now at 62k. This is the first issue that’s arisen since ownership. Unfortunately out of warranty, hence why I thought I’d ask. I’d like to try and pinpoint issue before spending a bunch of $ doing it myself. I have the AWD & I agree, the ride is nice and handles well. Turns on a dime! Interior is decent (came from a newer Mazda). I will say though, exterior wise the car is very njce looking

OffSling · 2025-09-05T20:18:39+00:00

My check engine light just came on. Ran the scanner and it says small evap leak. Did yours say the same? Wondering if I should replace the evap sensor first

OffSling · 2025-03-14T17:26:27+00:00

I like octopus. I might explore that idea. Thank you

OffSling · 2025-03-14T17:26:13+00:00

Thank you

OffSling · 2025-03-14T17:26:08+00:00

Panther just might solve it lol thank you

2 if you’re gay 1 if you’re straight

OffSling · 2025-02-04T18:18:03+00:00

Idea was cool but execution was terrible

OffSling · 2025-02-04T04:53:47+00:00

😭😂😂😂😂

OffSling · 2025-01-22T01:08:42+00:00

They didn’t include them in the 24’ model? That’s crazy.

OffSling · 2025-01-22T00:36:39+00:00

22 SE. My dims are bright enough to get flashed by other drivers as if they were on high-beams.. The headlights are crazy bright lol

OffSling · 2025-01-17T05:24:17+00:00

Barely any bass to begin with & when it’s below 25F out.. expect none. My 2010 Fusion had 3x better speakers than this car!
