    Take it off and paint or powder coat it. Or at least if its out of the engine bay you can get more aggressive with cleaning

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Got bored so I put my budget big brake kit on the rear. Yes, I did lose the parking brake function in the process.

    I hit the 100 mile mark on my new rebuilt engine. Car was out of commission for about 3.5 months while I was dealing with it and being a full-time engineering student. Been running mostly trouble-free, and with the addition of Stainless LT headers and a high stall TC.

    Took the Silver out for 55 min freeway ride each way, to see another SB that was for sale in the Bay Area (NorCal). It was a 100,000 mile hashed car, interior bad, paint bad, wheels bad, hood and trunk lid scratched, sun fade and clear coat missing, no records, and the kid (was his Dad’s car had stared at $14,000 and said it was clean. But my SB needed the ride, as we are now at 33,000 miles and it hadn’t really been driven for a year or so….

    After getting my 2005 Aviator engine one whole year ago, it's finally in the garage and in the stand!
    2024 will be the year of my Marauder!

    I took the upper console out and fixed the compass by re-soldering the detached resistor. Not to bad of a project.

    You know, I did this years ago, and couldn't find the resistor at all. Someone suggested I just bridge the connection with solder and it actually worked. Scariest part was unsnapping the overhead console from the headliner, hoping I wouldn't break it.

    Car has sat for months for me to get the time to work on it, so: new battery, new belt, oil & filter change, new KYB rear shocks, new Metco control arm bushings, and clean up the old arms and replace zerk fittings and chassis lube everything, Gunk degrease rear axle and trans pan, wash engine, new fuel filter, oil S&B 9" air filter, clean TB and MAF sensor, put on stock cold air kit, and been driving it everywhere with expired tags trying to get the "Not ready" P-1000 code to disappear so I can get it smogged. Repairing broken window / door lock switch panel as rear tab snapped off.

    FINALLY, reviewing all the paint damage a hack mobile car washing guy did to all my paint edges, door handle upper surfaces, tops of the mirrors, and rear spoiler by washing the car in hot sun with the hardest water in America, then "fixing" spotting by taking an industrial buffer and burning holes in the car paint, burning all sharp edges down to bare metal, revealing white plastic under the spoiler edges, and literally chipping metal off the leading hood edge, while giving me a "discount." I'm now out a minimum of $4K min to get the car painted. He offered to "detail the engine and interior" but Thank god I said no. I was just busy and lazy and wanted the car washed, and offered for him to use my shady driveway and soft water bib, but he knew better. I feel like an idiot, and should have never trusted this hack.

    Opened the garage door and looked at it. I need to get the motivation to figure out the fuel problem so I can get it running and then finally tuned.
