Yeah, I was thinking the antenna and sunroof are going to give me a problem.

New tires and an oil change
Went to the mountains. Craziest roads I've ever been on. Not a pothole in sight. These country people got better roads than anyone in the city. 
Once I get the suspension redone, Ill head up to the Dragon.

you had a vette before right? How does the handling compare?Went to the mountains. Craziest roads I've ever been on. Not a pothole in sight. These country people got better roads than anyone in the city.

The Miata is all finesse, no power. Extremely balanced, great steering feel. The Miata's responses are quicker because of it's light weight and relatively skinny tires.
Many people say the Corvette handles like a big Miata and for the most part they're right. They've got a great suspension setup, low height, and steamroller tires. Just have to be careful with the throttle.
Both are great though.
Got 4 new tires on Wednesday. Washed it today. I'll probably clear out my trunk in about a half hour and put some of that shyt in the garage.
I got to get my extra Sebring detailed...gonna be like $200-300....coming up in the not too distant future though.

Copped a 77 impala coupe a couple months back . Sat for two years and got it running with a 20 dollar fuel pump. It over heats(350 4 barrel) so ima get a entire gasket kit and get some open heart surgery on it to freshen it up for now till i get ready to build it.
Tomorrow im throwing on a thermostate to see if it makes a difference until i get it to a shop.
Not my exact car but same model.

Slapped the thermostat on today. Didnt change a thing since i watched the motor run til it got hot. Saw some bubbling in between the exhaust manifold and the headers. Checked the oil and its not milky but im still gonna get the gasket kit for it.

Lil update. Didnt get it to a shop just yet, gonna try one more trick before i call it a day.
Water pump brand new is 45 bucks.still has the smog equipment on it so ima take all that shyt off,thing is i dont know what size belt i would need after i do so. Got some leaky valve covers so im gonna replace those as well.
Transmission wouldnt shift when its cold out so i threw some stop leak treatment stuff in there to loosen up the sticking valve body and that seemed to work . Just gotta drive it a bit more.
If all that shyt dont work then ill let someone else look at it cuz i dont have the room to take it out and rebuild the whole shyt over.
