Lookin' good... Now you just need to figure out how to get those rocker mouldings on.

[Mr. Beefy]

Thanks Cliff. I already figured it out (at the expense of the passanger skirt). I just have to get a new passanger skirt cause I broke the mount tabs off the one I had. I might be able to get that one on there still but I'm not 100%. I'm going to work on that today.  My wife and kids went to the in-laws so I get to bachelor it up for today/tonight/tomorrow morning. I'll get a few beers deep tonight.  ÂÂÂ

Man that filler looks good! Just got to see it with the lights on.

[Mr. Beefy]

I'm not going to light it up. As it is right now, the car is is a holding time. I havent done anything to it in a while. Damn work is going nuts so I dont have any time...... That and when I had free time I was building this in teh back yard of my house....





Fire pit FTW!!

Look it's a big square.  



BTW the car looks awesome!

[Mr. Beefy]

Thanks Rod, It's about to get better after the NE meet...... then maybe next year it will be a 3400'd CorZica...... havent decided yet. It's getting a bath tomorrow(as well as the Saturn) cause they are in need of a GOOD cleaning.

[Mr. Beefy]

Well being that I havent done much of anything on the corsica in a little bit I figured I would do some stuff to it. I replaced all but 2 plugs a couple weeks ago(cause I ran out of time the day I did them, then havent had time since) so I replaced the last 2. These were the pain in the *** ones, the center and drivers back ones. I didnt remove the coils cause I didnt see the need but I removed the purge flow valve and solenoid to get more room. After that it wasnt bad at all.

Then I wanted to get teh STB back on... but I was tired of the plain old black color. So I painted it.



I have to do some touchup cause the red peeled off of the primer I laid down in some spots. Not that bad though. I have to finish the touchups, then clear it and it's going in tomorrow. Slow but some progress. I'll post a pic of when it's in.

[Mr. Beefy]

All in....



The base coat cracked when I put the clear on(very odd......) so eventually I'm going to have tosand it down again and repaint it. I'm pissed that happened but it's not 100% perfect anyways.

Looks great! Tell me if it helps much, I've got one to put on(got to move some things first). Man I just got to ask, is that a spark plug boot for your PCV? Mine broke and I could not find one at the parts store, so I just used a HEI boot.

Nope that's the stock peice for the PCV valve.


I had this STB on my GT, GTZ and now on the Corsica. Both the GT and Corsica had crappy shocks and I noticed a difference., even with the crappy shocks. Definately a worthwhile upgrade.

Ok thanks man, I get on it as soon as I can. What did you do to get the wire harness out of the way?

[Mr. Beefy]

All I did is take out the "pop-clip" that's on the blower housing and shoved it out of teh way some. I have to find a better place to move it but it works for now.  

[Money pit Beretta]

Sounds good, I thought that I might need to split up the wires into a smaller group and cover them with a smaller loom. I have some lines to move off the strut tower(don't know what to do with them). The purple pit is more of a pain in butt than the old 90GT ever was.
