New Dude From Houston . . .
Dropping in for the initial hazing . . .
I just purchased a stock 7th Gen Coupe about two weeks ago, needs quit a bit of body work.
Nothing to terrible though, I worked for a body shop in the suburbs of south east Houston so it's not that foreign(body work).
Bottomed out the rear OEM shocks on friday, PS was close to gone anyways.
I would post some photos but she's really nothing to special, yet.
"The List"
1. Transmission fluid "change".
2. Replace back shocks. (Tokico Blues?)

Craziness 
I did my Tranny fluid change on Friday, it went pretty smooth . .
Had a little trouble breaking the plug lose, but it came free.
Since I bought the car the DS window didn't work, I had them put it in the contract to fix it free of charge.
I took it to them right after I bought it, I needed the car for about a week so I picked it up with the window still not working.
They told me it was the switch, so I decided to take a look myself.
Apparentlly they just ripped off the door panel and left a plug in the door, with a broken piece of the door panel itself.
Upon further inspection they broke the door look tensioner.
I told myself I wasnt going to take it back and just pick the parts up myself and install them.
Well they ordered me a new(read: pick a pull) switch, I installed it and changed out the fuse.
It blew through four fuses with/without the switch connected.
I talked to a buddy of mine who owns a shop and he told me it was an electrical short.
Expensive.
So today I went to pick up my plates and told them what I found.
They agreed to have their electrican fix it and give me a loaner car.
Tomorrow I SHOULD be recieveing a call from them letting me know when I can pick it up.
As of this moment I'm driving a '99Caviler LS POS.
