Fixed the radio that didn't work now the main speakers don't work but the tweeters do. No rear speakers. Fixed the cigarette lighter (cut wires), fixed the power mirros (cut wires).

Drove it like I stole it. Its really the sons! But he lets me spool it up when I do some work on it.

Whats up with the fuel gauge, low gas light, brake light on and the sticky window swtch door lock combo?

That is duplicolor metalcast red. It took about $30 bucks for chemicals and about 6 episodes of family guy to polish (mostly by hand).
1 can of aircraft basecoat remover
1 can of duplicolor metalcast ground coat
1 can of duplicolor metalcast color coat
Not too shabby!
check out my build(ish) thread for the full write-up and more/better pics.

Yeah, that was my next guess. I first thought the ECU temp sensor, but I've got a MDM100 plugged in and its reading normal. Haven't even looked to see how much O2s are these days.

bosch OE units aren't too terribly bad on price. Last one I picked up, I think I dropped 35-40 on maybe?

The ones without the direct connector is $18 each. I picked up 2 and will just swap the connectors from my old ones.

Ordered a complete bushing kit from energy suspension, as well as a B&M short shifter, and new tie rod bellows because mine are shot, and started checking out how to get it to stop hitting the limiter at f'ing 3000 RPM

Replaced the HICAS ball joint on my GTS-T rear uprights with some poly-urethane bushings today. One step closer to dropping the iron pig uprights from my 240.

I didn't do anything to the 240's today other than cut down a tree next to them without hitting them. I poked two holes in a car cover, but its not bad at all. No to cut down the stupid tree out back.
