John S's Journal

Not that it’s a bad thing as it means it’s easy to get in and take a worry free drive somewhere. Unfortunately in my case, it also means I haven’t even driven it a whole lot lately due to an ambitious project around the house which has taken most of my summer it seems.

Today though, I saw the poor GT with a layer of dust just sitting in the garage and decided to fire it up and give it a bath. That usually leads to taking it out for a rip out in the countryside to dry it off which is exactly what I did. It’s such a great time of year in the PNW as the days are warm and clear and the air is clean. Trees are on the beginning stages of turning to the vibrant Fall colors.

The car ran great and always puts a smile on my face. I’ve got a few things that I want to tackle in the off season but that’s still a ways off. I hope. The original seats need some new foam and possibly some webbing but I won’t know that until I strip them down. Probably start with the passenger side so I can still drive it. I also have a cold air intake that I bought from a forum member and an unused front valence that came from another forum member. That will need to be primed and painted first. Once that’s fitted, I have a pair of fog lights that I need to mount somehow. I’ve been driving without the front bumper and I kind of like the look so it may stay that way. For now, though, it’s going to see more road time as long as the rain stays away.
