Hi all, just pulled a non running, rough 99 v70R auto out of a field in Missouri where it has been sitting since 2012. The car is 99% rust free but a non runner and is going to need a lot of work and parts to get it where it needs to be. I know I should run but I like a challenge. I will share along...

It does indeed come back as an R in that color by vin: YV1LV62D4X2587247 I'm curious. Being an R, I would have expected a duel muffler at the rear, not a single one. Was 2000 the only year with dual mufflers? We would have to look at the Vin# for sure, as I have never seen a R in that Red. The only ...

Okay guys, please excuse the mess as I had to move a lot out to squeeze the car in there. After changing the tank, making a couple of lines , putting fresh oil in it is alive after over 13 years of sitting. I don't have a filter wrench that would fit so I didn't run it long. Any recommendations for ...

TY. These are the parts I already ordered. Some have made it here and some will be here this week. I think I pretty much followed your recommendation except maybe the upgrade jkit https://i.imgur.com/OUBtHff.png https://i.imgur.com/jU7SGiF.png https://i.imgur.com/n995WHd.png https://i.imgur.com/IaE0...

TY. I actually prefer the current trim to wood, wood looks good in estate wagons and fancier trims imho but sportier ones it looks a bit out of place to my eye Working AC required in MO! Think about putting a wood interior into that, rob. The charcoal leather really looks nice warmed up…even better ...

Funny enough that you should say this, I just ordered a grill yesterday lol The black marble is fantastic. It’s one of the reasons I’ve kept my GLT so long instead of trying to find a T5. Could always swap it into a T5 of your choosing. However, speaking from personal experience, a GLT car is a very...

In the spirit of "while I am here" I decided to pull the turbo for rebuild. It seemed fine but with the seals sitting dry for so long I didn't want it to come back and bite me in the rear at a later date. All the rubber needed changed anyway so why not? https://i.imgur.com/5nOlLBd.jpg http...

Lot's of cleaning done, lots more to do lol. It is cleaning up pretty nicely under the hood though

Got the exhaust on today and added/topped off all fluids and ran it for quite awhile today, no leaks! Check engine light is on for downstream 02 sensor I am still waiting on the extension to be able to plug it in. On to the suspension and brakes now!

Had a few hours this weekend so went back to work on the front suspension on this thing, and of course more cleaning New struts, tie rods, lower control arms, brake lines, brake calipers, rotors and pads, end links, etc, etc I thought I was about done and put the drivers caliper on only to notice it...
