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.

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.

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:

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. :banana:

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!

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.

:banana:

Yea the Cal/Masters are pretty sweet :)

 

Im just leaving these as "stocks" until I can afford some Peugeots again :D

 

Are you gonna go with the 14s or 15s this time? I think the 14s fit the car better without looking all "DUB" ish Lol. But the Flat spokes look cool.

I like the look of the Recessed spokes like I had, and Ill probably go with them... But then again, Im going to do a 5 Lug swap someday and put some 04 STI wheels on it :D

If I ever get into another EA82, I would like to do a 5-lug swap, see if I can run Legacy knuckles. 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.
