Default Re: Another Survivor - My LS5 Comes Home!

Paul, just got back from my first real drive in the car in nearly 20 years. Oh how I missed the whine of the M22!

Steve, I will be posting some pics as requested when I get a chance to get it up on the lift. Maybe in the meantime I'll post some of the docs if anybody cares to see those. Do I need to worry about people stealing information from build sheets and window stickers? No problem moving the thread if you want to.

Ron, the gas pedal retaining pin had come half way out. Pushed her back in and all is straight with the pedal.

No Wide Ovals for now.

I hope you don't take a buffer to it like was suggested. Atleast maybe check what the paint thickness is before doing that, if you did. Great looking car.

At least put fresh radials on it. Tires that are 10+ years old are dangerous of you really want to drive it - especially if you want to use the M22 like it was intended to be used. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I second that.
A nice survivor like this needs &quot;survivor style&quot; tires.
