been having occasional issue with plug wire melting and arcing. Do the best I can to keep them away from the headers but the manage to end getting to close. Its only 2 of them so I am going try these. 22 bucks. should help.

 

Man, I love seeing what you've been doing over the years on this thing, Have been following your thread off and on for over a year.

I have to admit, many of my mods and ideas on my LS have come from your ZR2, so hopefully you will take it as a compliment of the highest order and not as any sort of insult as I go along with mine. Your winch bumper being a perfect example.... I fully intend on doing the same bumper on mine in the spring!

Beautiful offroader! and well maintained and cared for!

 

Wow, great compliment. Thank you very much!

 

I like what you have been doing with your rig, i just wish mine didn't look like it actually had 226,000 miles on it. eh slowly but surely getting it there. yours look like its been loved, maintained and used like you care about it. i have gotten a few good ideas off it. The flares and the tires look badass btw

 

Thanks, pretty much baby it. Fix things right away. Got some rust I`ll be addressing soon

 

fixed a rust issue zr2`s have. Right in front of the rear tires. drivers side this weekend passengers next

with this method in stead of grinding welds, only one small bead of body filler needed along the top

Looks great, I would never know it rusted

 

you would be amazed what the inside of the panel I cut off looked like

 

Repair looks great! Where did you buy the patch panels? My kids 2 door is starting to do the same so I want to tackle this fairly soon before it becomes a real problem!
