I'm Awesome
We have had several bad storms and rainy weather that has included hail. Van has been parked inside my shop since the steering gearbox started leaking. To make changing the box less difficult, I yanked the front clip as I also have some harness cleanup work to do as well as fix a leaking washer tank. Have a new Wolo dual tone compact air horn to install too. Also changing my brake cooling setup a bit. Going a little bigger on the ducting. If its not one thing its another. Taking advantage of having it stored inside my dry shop with the a/c on. In addition to changing the front brakes and changing every fluid in the thing, started cleaning it up. While my roof and hood need to be resprayed and the vinyl striping erased the sides of the thing is cleaning up remarkably well for nearly 25 year old factory paint. Just washed it with Meguiars on a rag and then rinsed it with a damp towl. Then a light buffing with some compound. Then followed up with some Meguiars Carnuba wax. Also added the badges I was debating putting on it for the last year. Interior is next. Need to rebuild the front door panels and change the front door speakers and remove 3 interior wood pieces that have cracked and peeling finish and refinish them. Interior also needs a complete detail. Might also limo tint the thing as well during this downtime. Ordered a nice carpet dash mat for it as well. I also have a homelink auto dimming mirror to install that was given to me new in the box a few years ago.
I might heat the VortecMAX badge up and remove it. Only added it to the passenger side and cannot decide if I like it or not. The theme of the 383 is a factory high output version of the L31 Vortec.
