Progress Thread Grover: Window motor replacement & OEM rebuild

FastDriver · Jan 15, 2018

Guys, it's unbelievable! I'm in love! 71,430 miles. The last owner had the car for over 20 years. It's a 93 GT with a manual trans, 5-lug swap, almost the whole list of MM suspension stuff.

There are no "for sale" pics to show, and I really haven't broken out the camera and taken a lot of pics, but I'll post 'em up as I do. As I was saying earlier in the thread though, I was definitely looking for a car with some good suspension stuff like this:

That looks pretty sweet. What's the plans for it?

FastDriver · Jan 15, 2018

My other car, Sloth, needs paint, interior, tweaking and some overall TLC. I would be a bit embarrassed to drive it to gatherings with a lot of nice cars. Not so with this one. It's not perfect, but it is one of the best I've seen.

So, my plan is to to get it detailed and enjoy the hell out of it. I'll drive it on sunny days, go to car events, and I might even take it out for a track day here and there. That said, I am not going to rag on this one. The seller had the foresight not to go too stiff with the springs, and it makes the ride very smooth. Handles the bumpy roads around here super nicely. It's smooth with no abnormal vibrations, rattles, etc. 3.73 gears make for great highway gears with the .5:1 6th transmission gear, and milling around town is still nice because the overall ratio in 1st is close to 11:1.

I took it out into Monterey today and had a nice lunch and got half a dozen compliments on it. You don't see many foxes that aren't run down these days. When you do, they really stand out.

So can we get a pic of the whole exterior?

Absolutely. I just haven't taken any yet, and it's already back under cover in my garage. That said, I did snap a shot while in a restaurant today, though.

I actually thought it was kinda funny because you can see what a wide berth I gave that SUV. The lady driving was oblivious to the car and was looking in her interior as she swung that door open, lol. I do not like parking next to other people, except in my Saturn daily driver due to the fiberglass body that doesn't dent and the fact that I got a daily to absorb the dings. I am not double-parked, btw. That's the last space on the block.

anxious for more details.
congrats on finding one worth your hard earned $.

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2018

What springs are on it?

Steel1 · Jan 16, 2018

Looks like reef blue/titanium factory two tone...I'm little partial to that combo..lol.
Not sure if you posted it but what did you pay for it ?

A5literMan · Jan 16, 2018

Congrats looks and sounds like a very nice car. Enjoy!

stanglx2002 · Jan 16, 2018

Awesome looking car. It shows that the previous owner took there time picking which upgrades to add to the car and not. Most that I see nowadays have been totally stripped, and defiantly dont have a great paint job like that.

With the original miles you stated I assume original paint?

95BlueStallion · Jan 16, 2018

Looks great on the outside. Waiting for more pics though!

Davedacarpainter · Jan 16, 2018

Congratulations Chris. I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures.

FastDriver · Jan 16, 2018

Yes. I'm pretty sure the paint is original. Here're the pics everyone is asking for:

I'll have to snap one or two of the interior, though. The interior is also very clean.

GroverDill · Jan 16, 2018

Looks pretty nice to me!

BlakeusMaximus · Jan 16, 2018

Damn! Who said something about life goals a while back?

GroverDill · Jan 16, 2018

Sheesh at least post the money shot.

FastDriver · Jan 16, 2018

That one has been my desktop background for the last 2 months!

General karthief · Jan 16, 2018

Money shot would be from the rear showing it just a little sideways.
