What did you do today to your 3/S?

Thanks for the suggestions. If I can't get it off with a wire wheel then I'm going to leave them and just lap them as is. I should have just sent them to the machine shop to begin with and I'm just tired of dealing with them. I have a sandblaster and homemade cabinet but I'm sure the black diamond stuff would damage the valves.

Got some shiz done. Raised the engine another 2-3" and pushed it back another 3". Sits perfectly now with great, near stock, ground clearance. Going to make my steering build a lot easier.

Looking good. I imagine a fair bit of work was needed to make a decent transmission tunnel?

Impressive to break a diff n/a lol. Must have had some fluke thing happen to it. Bummer!

Thanks! Yeah trans tunnel took a lot of cutting for sure. Need a bit more now that i raised it and pushed it back. Will have pictures of that soon as thats one of the things on the list for the near future.

I was doing the same thing with a metallic graphite

But after seeing it all installed, I realized that even a solid color can be bleh.

So I am open to some bling like polished or chrome now for some contrast.

And that's why I want a murdered-out bay with just a few snippits of purple. Also why my bay is satin black. If I slap any color in it, it will stand out a lot.

No clue what happened. I was driving through some snow in the pick n pull parking lot and heard a loud click. Car doesn't drive differently until 55mph, then there is a noise that sounds like a wheel bearing going out. It is weird though as there is a whoomp sound, but it sounds like it is twice per revolution. Oh well, going to pull the diff apart to inspect what happened when I have some time. School and working 2 jobs is killing meh. I suspect a spider gear cracked or maybe the VCU took a shit.

sucks

where is said pick n pull?
