Polished my wheelwells and brake dust shields:oops::whistling:

There is so much wrong there. Caliper covers, GM stand, ALMOST clean hubs.... I feel sorry for that car--it wants to be driven and you won't let it. I'll bet the rotors still have the initial crosshatch machining on the faces.

I just wanna know how/if he got the rotors off without removing the calipers. Is that a thing? I've never even tried doing that.

Put the Corbeaus in. This thing may actually have some decent pickup now with all the weight that has been taken out. :naughty1:

I put the car in storage :(
I wish I lived in Florida or Texas....
I live in Ohio and drive my '05 GT (with 4.30 gears) year around. Get some good tires and enjoy it. I've had either stock PZeros or cheap Maxxis Victra all seasons on mine and only been stuck once in the 7 years that I've had it.

Buy winter tires. These cars are better in the snow than most fwd econoboxes. And waaaay more fun.

Hit a deer but instead of getting a new oem hood, I may go the cowl hood route.

Start taking it apart again.

Upon teardown I removed the cams and found lots of metal pieces almost like copper or something had found its way between the cam and the cam caps and scored them up something awful to the point where your finger nail catches every ridge on almost all 32 of them.

You can sort of see the metal chunks here in between the lobes
