The wagon progress.

Prior to being parked-



Hidden-


Enginebay-


....and progress since parked-

















Things left:
-wheels are @ powdercoat, they're overdue but I'm being patient (sandblasted in photo)
-tuning @ ZZP
-repair a couple door seams, <3 GM

Everything else shown is installed, coilover's should be about 3/4" lower now with travel left unaffected as well.

[qwikredline]

ps mounts suck.

[JSchulte]

Thanks for the feedback, can't wait for the wheels to return and have it back on the ground .

ps mounts suck.

My ZZP front trans mount? LOL, just leave it alone.

Powdercoat called today for pickup!

Direct light on the wheel made the intensity more-so than it truly is, but here's a teaser-


In all honesty I'm having a hard time developing an legit opinion myself until tire's are mounted and I'm on the ground with the new stance. All things said though, I feel I did the right thing and it's all going to come together.

Never woulda thought that blue was the color you picked. Lookin good so far. Can't wait to see it on the ground

[The_cobalt_kid]

agree. it'll be unique for sure!

[The_cobalt_kid]

is this your fog light housing?

[JSchulte]

That'd be my Dejon air intake.

I argued over a wild&mild wheel color choice, the HHR is far from bland itself, but I took the wild color I was fond of and ran. As stated, the lighting definitely brings it out a bit than reality! Once on the ground and in daylight I think people will warm up to it.

[The_cobalt_kid]

Ah i see. never saw one before... is that JB weld i see? lol.

those shop lights are REALLY bright so it'll look diff in the sun, and there isn't rubber, and your suspension is full droop so we shall see.

[JSchulte]

The honeycomb pressed in just find, but yeah, just so happened I had JBWeld laying closely and I trust such as much as the "epoxy" they suggest. I doubt it was needed, but I consider it security and just did a couple spots with a small amount. No sense in having something like such tack welded as picky as I am.

Yeah the intensity of the wheels is silly with that light, you're right the true test will be on the ground with natural light, I know then I'll be fully satisfied. Hopefully it doesn't snow so I can pull it out for a quick visual.

Jb weld is great stuff. I have fixed lots stuff with that stuff. Tack weld would have discolored it too

As much as it shames me to admit it, the brackets that held my Cobra HE on my SS/SC were JBWelded to it! I painted everything up nice, and 20,000 miles later when I removed and sold it they were just as good!

[BartSS]

good stuff man... its making me miss mine but not the problems i had with it.

[JSchulte]

Thanks man! Sad yours was motivation for mine!
