Matthewboerner Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Got the gl-10 registered and tagged.... Ouch $213. Now just need insurance! I also painted the window pillars, front and rear wiper arms and a little touch up on a PO booboo above the drivers corner light. Now I just have to decide if I want to flat black the hood or leave it oxidized ruby mica? Also need a set of tires that are budget friendly.

subynut Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Replaced my rear speakers - water got'em. While I was in there, I cleaned up the inside of the door and lubed up the door lock and latch linkage. All put back together: Sounds much better I also installed a Dash Mat and steering wheel cover to help protect the plastic and my hands from the summer heat: Bigger pics can be seen from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44982071@N04/sets/72157623816237384/ I was a little concerned about the light color of the Dash Mat with glare while driving in the sun, but after driving in it this evening, it wasn't bad at all.

Idasho Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ive been tinkering with the GL. Continuing with the lift, among other things. Like a simple modification to the 4-speed shifter to clear the 4wd linkage when you shift into reverse. make a pie cut from the front left portion of the shifter base. Then fold it up and weld!

Skysm182 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I recently took off my door panels to clean the contacts on the window buttons. Now the windows don't go as slow as molasses. Re-hooked a wire in the wagon tail gate so that when I unlock/lock the doors, the tailgate does as such also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would like to slap some 15" Legacy SS wheels on it. I might be getting into a '88 3-Door Runabout this summer in trade for the Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
