Well well well......... it must've been a cold day in Hell..

I'd never thought I would be starting a build on this side of XN, but the day has finally come i see.

First and for most, my Gen 1 isnt going anywhere. But then why does i have this? Well short and sweet of it was my parents needed an extra car and I have always toyed with the idea of a gen 2 but i have such an emotional attachment to my gen 1, i couldnt just sell it to some nobody. plus the original GLX member owner wasnt driving it anymore, its pretty much been a center piece in his driveway for over 2 years. so for now she will be used by my parents as a really badass daily but soon....... soon I'll starting getting a little wild with her. I know SASing my gen one is gonna be a long processes so in the mean time while the X is on jack stands or whatever...... maaaaaaaaaaybe i could take this gen 2 out and play a little. at the end of the day it is mine after all hehe.

so here she is in all her glory!

Congrats on the purchase of the 2nd gen. I would like to see the strobe lights or is it just a switch that does nothing

So funny thing about those strobes... They flash faster than the frames of the video on my smart phone so they don't get picked up. But as you see here the strobe bulbs are located in the from signal housing and rear tail lamp.

That’s a hide away system. If it’s the brand name stuff it’s kind of speedy. It’s pretty much what emergency vehicles are fitted with. Cool

Those are the old, non-greaseable ball joints. You'll probably want to keep an eye on them. They can wear pretty quickly with offroad use. The newer ones seem to fare better with the grease fitting.

Congrats!

The UCA’s are SPC and the sliders look like AJ’s super squares.

Gave the new girl a little new owner TLC

changed the oil with mobil full synthetic and a mobil filter. which would went a lot easyier if the filter wasnt welded to the damn engine. mind you this thing was sitting on trickle charger for the better part of 2 years with very very little drive time so yeah.

then i changed out the battery which is about 8 years old so i know that wasnt gonna last another midwest winter. and again.... small issues. had to replace the postie battery connector since it didnt feel like grabbing on the terminal snug no matter how much blacksmithing i did to it.

checked the air filter........ dear gobble. dirt and bugs and more dirt. after brushing everything out and, to quote the late Bob Ross, "beat the devil out of it". its much better now but of course I'm gonna order a new one right now.

and finally, i gave her a good well deserved bath. i know it was hard to tell in the other pics but there was a bit of algae growing on this thing, especially behind the bug defector. so after scrubbing every nook and cranny, she is sitting pretty.
