I think everyone knows what I have been doing all winter long. No need for me to recap so I will save room for the others.

well.....
smoked the tranny in gtp back in january 2008. replaced it with a junkyard tranny in june 2008, had it in for 3 weeks and i lost 1st gear. drove it without 1st gear until december 2008. Got a free replacement for the one that went out in june, put it in over christmas break and i had no reverse gear. So....... the tranny i had from june i dropped off to get rebuilt and the junkyard flipped THE TOTAL REBUILD bill. Put the rebuilt tranny in on january 3rd and all has been very well since then.

so heres my list
1. tranny replacement in my gtp
2. motor swap on 95 civic 1.5l
3. Motor rebuild and tranny swap on a 95 grand prix
4. motor swap on a 04 malibu classic 2.2 ecotec

edit: just realized that this thread is the SHO only projects
1. lower control arms
2. outer tie rods
3. HD swaybar endlinks
4. installed catless y-pipe from sho-source(love that y-pipe)
5. plugs and wires
6. flushed power steering fluid
7. flushed brake fluid
8. when Brett makes it up my way, will will be doing a re-ring on his 3.2, set it up to be a 3.0, and then we will be dropping the motor in
9. re-ring my 3.0 on the stand and drop 'er in

SHO's suck, i am sicking of working on them but more enjoying driving them :3gears:

I myself haven't even worked on the SHO this winter. I'm waiting for better weather.

I've finally collected all the parts I need to fix up my suspension. I'll be replacing all 4 struts and springs, replacing the front knuckles with 94-95 knuckles, and upgrading to 11.6" brakes. I've also got some little maintenance things to do.

Nice Monte. It makes me miss the one I used to have.
