what do you need to do to your ride to be ready for PT 2013

[slick painter]

I need to change trans fluid and filter.. and install new leaf springs

[narxoleptic]

Install capret, seat, center console. Bleed Brakes. Get new tires mounted. Re-Install Grill. Install Speedometer.

Then drive it 150 miles non-stop as a shakedown run after all the new parts have been installed.... 39 days!!!!

Finish the AC lines/mount the condensor, finish the trans tunnel, weld in the shock tower delete panels, fab the pedals, modify floor to get the seats lower, mount the seats...

Nevermind, just got a new pair of PS2's mounted on the back of the V wagon. A good detailing and an oil change and it's good to go.

Driving a late model GTO this year, I'm low maintenence. Oil change, new tires, and turn the brakes. There's a little pulse in the pedal.

[dianeokie]

Yeah, I got razzed for this last year....new car, don't need to do anything.....but not true.........
Oil change
New rotors, new pads
new rear cradle bushings
paint calipers
figure out that GoPro thing

I'm thinking Earl gets new tires this year.

[grancuda]

So far I have the following left:

1- Replace front calipers, rubber lines & pads

2- Check/Pack front wheel bearings

3- Get Dash lights operational

4- Get Gas gauge functional

5- Get Speed-o-gear for 3.00 gears

6- Get Fan Shroud & figure out how to install on aftermarket radiator

7- Get Transmission Hard Lines from FineLines, has rubber hoses & I don't trust them

8- Decide if I am leaving the electric Mallory fuel pump or stick a mechanical one on.

9- Get Fuel Line away from headers/mufflers, routed really close & mufflers can shake & hit

10- Steering shaft coupler loose, need to replace

11- Swap drag shocks for conventional

12- Windshield wiper motor needs installed & figure out if wiper wiring harness & switch are any good

13- Find some lock rods that go from tumbler to latch in the doors

14- Get door panels installed, got to get locks on

15- Front end alignment, been playing with torsions on height, I am sure it’s off now

16- Get tires balanced

17- Get a spare tire

18- Find Front sway bar & get new bushings & links

I'm like you Diane, newer car and all I ever needed was an oil change. Not this year, my rental car got new tires and I need to get alignment, oil change before and after I get back..Then I'm good..

[pintoboy77]

How will you ever get all that done in such a short time Rett your going to be exhausted.

[redragtop]

Might be tough for Rett, sounds like he isn't home to much. Such a jet setter

Grancuda, you won't need a spare tire, probably won't have room for it. See I just took one thing off your list to do!

[moparjim71]

All done. Installed cruise control, new tires, new stereo, Dynamat, seat belts, & tonneau cover so the truck is ready!

[Rocketman]

Install capret, seat, center console. Bleed Brakes. Get new tires mounted. Re-Install Grill. Install Speedometer.

Then drive it 150 miles non-stop as a shakedown run after all the new parts have been installed.... 39 days!!!!

Should be easy...BTW, welcome to the boards

All done. Installed cruise control, new tires, new stereo, Dynamat, seat belts, & tonneau cover so the truck is ready!

Cool Jim...Can't wait to see the new ride in person


My to-do list is getting shorter....but so is the time I have left

[QuickGearhead]

I have to finish redoing my headlight retrofits, install my Killer Chiller unit and get some new tires on. Other than that, It will need a good wash, wax and full detail before getting packed up for the 1300 mile trip to Arlington.

[street72]
