It is that time of year again. What are you working on doing to your ride to get it ready for the coming spring?

I am focusing on upgrading the interior.

For me:

I just changed out the driveshaft on the GTO from the 2 piece (Rubber boot around the knuckle broke...apparently common problem with these cars) to a 1 Piece driveshaft that is supposedly capable of holding 700RWHP (Never going to see that) Believe it or not that was the cheaper one the more expensive one was fro 1200+RWHP.

Even though it was done a month ago I just started to hear some whining noises...maybe that the Pinion bolts were tightened to much so this issue needs to be resolved.

After that's resolved sometime next month I plan on getting new half shafts as mine are pretty rusted and again are more common of going kaput.

After that I may add the GTO HSV roof wing, which is ironic since I did not like the 6th gen roof wing they sold on our montes.

Then may also change out the door sills to say "HSV" instead of the pontaic Symbol.

And done....no Monte upgrades again this winter.
Joe

I am adding the Jeep steering shaft upgrade to my list of things to do. What year Jeeps are the shafts out of? The 90s Cherokees?

Rich, 92-94 Jeep Grand Cherokees. you just need to notch the steering column a bit to get the bolt in. Other than that they fit perfectly. Matt's car has it and it really makes a differance in steering.

Nice Rob! Get it driveable and then put on some miles! I plan on driving the crap out of mine this year. The body and paint are on permanent hold until I can get a good job.
