He bought it over in Tennessee from an auction, its a bit rough with some obvious commercial history, and 144k on the clock. We'd have kicked it off the list on condition alone, but there it sits taunting her with its Walmart wheel covers and big 'ol dent in the hatch. A blindfold may be in order, but then she'd probably plant the Del Sol in the trees trying to head out to the salon in the morning. Bribery may be needed to get him to park it out of sight until Madam's quest is at an end.
sounds like it was ridden hard & put up wet.. I'd pass also.. But I know just seeing it there is not helping.. LOL Good luck with that.
Which one is Paddy, the new one right ? Anyhow the rims go well with the car's color !!!
Good Luck on moving Boo Boos rims to the future spousemobile..
I like that term "Spousemobile"

Well not today but yesterday I snuck out and lowered the rear of the beast, the front will be another day..maybe tomorrow. Wait a minute, no I think it's going to be -4 tonight so that means the gar. is going to be freezing. Maybe another day.

Paddy is the "old" one, the '07 LS, Boo Boo has the chrome clad 2LT alloys and I'm just not sure I like the chrome yet, that's why I'm thinking they'd look great on her black panel when she finds one. But she really likes the rims that Greybread is running, so do I. But we're kinda doing the horse before cart thing, once there is a panel parked downstairs, I'll plead my "but honey, Boo Boo's wheels would look so nice on the Spousemobile...".

Paddy is the "old" one, the '07 LS, Ok, I saw the running boards, but no chrome mirrors. WTH ?
Boo Boo has the chrome clad 2LT alloys and I'm just not sure I like the chrome yet, that's why I'm thinking they'd look great on her black panel when she finds one. 10-4, following now..
But she really likes the rims that Greybread is running, so do I. me too.. But I still prefer Hi-polished..
But we're kinda doing the horse before cart thing, once there is a panel parked downstairs, I'll plead my "but honey, Boo Boo's wheels would look so nice on the Spousemobile...". Yea, right....I understand..
Thanks for clearing that up.. & might I say Paddy looks Very Good !!!

I got started on making a front strut brace since they do not make them for an HHR. Cobalts, G6, Solstice sure but not the HHR. Using .095 4130 chomoly tubing in 1.5" or 1.75" diameter and welded to 1/4" 4130 chromoly brackets. Once done I'm going to remove the Eibach rear sway bar and take them both over to my powdercoater and have them done in the same color.
