I just ordered in a few more parts to upgrade my suspension over Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct 14). I have new Monroe Quick Strut, the thick Monroe stabilizer end link, Mevotech Control Arms (MS50173 & MS50174) and for the rear end KYB Shock Absorber (349043).

I've had the quick strut and stabilizer end link on the shelf for a while, but am getting winter tires put on and alignment done at the same time so I decided to hold off.

Also, I ordered in some Weather Tech floor mats (black). I was going to go with the MAXpiderMat (sp?) but they only had them in grey and I have painted my 06' interior to black & white so the grey wouldn't fit with the theme.

Hope to add a 6 or 7 inch touchscreen sometime in the future as well as heated seats. I already have the leather seats pulled from a totaled HHR that are heated seat ready, I just need the proper AC/Heater control & wiring.

 

You're gonna be busy tinkering by the sounds of it, you'll love the WeatherTech mats, they're a great investment and much nicer than the OEM carpeted mats.

 

parked the HHR for a few days, clean and preen for our Last Chance Show on the 29th, been driving the spouse's 03 Sunfire GT I kind of like the growl of the dual exhaust even though it is just one pipe y'd into two mufflers, Hmmm where did I leave my Sawzall???

 

Man, show us some pictures of the interior

 

Here is how you do that...........https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/site-development-help-announcements-18/how-upload-add-pictures-your-post-old-3033/

We all want to see......

 

Well, RockAuto emailed me back that they were actually sold out of one side for the Mevotech control arms, so I switched to the Raybestos aluminum FE 3 control arms (507-1740 & 507-1741)

I will sometime soon. I still have a few touch ups to do and need to find a somewhat large Chevrolet script for above the glove box passenger side.


I also found a great deal on some Hakka 9 winter tires (180CDN/tire)

Here is a picture of the Chevrolet script on my dash. This one is quite small
about 3/8 by 5 1/4. I don't think I would go much larger. This is from a middle 1950s dash script. Lots of Chevrolet scripts available on eBay and I have been happy with the ones I have bought.



Boydie

 

cleaned her up and took in the last cruise night of the season in Chippewa Ont. great night lots of neat cars and trucks to see and hear.

 

That looks sweet..Is it a flat vinyl sticker?

 

Shined up the "Breadwagon" right after I brought her home from the exhaust shop...muffler delete and a stainless tip...sounds sweet
