    Actually, I have the Holden version. Reduced the insurance on it today since it's not leaving the garage soon. Will work with Carl @vaporworx to find a speed shop here to get the fuel system running.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Added velcro strips to reinforce the snap fasteners on the G8 trunk organizer. Added a pic to show what it looks like collapsed.

    Followed Yeti's post that referred to one on the other board. Got the car up where I wanted it, but it was still cramped.
    Hung the calipers, removed the brackets and rotors, disconnected the sensors, and removed the 4 bolts holding the knuckle. That really is the way to go because the axles just pop out. I did take down the back part of my Solo's just to get more room and a better look at things when disconnecting the driveshaft.
    I did have to get help with the pig though. I guess I'm just getting too old for this stuff. The kid next door is young and strong, so he got the honors and it helped popping the axles back in.
    Didn't set any records, a bit at a time over two days, but it's Michigan and winter's coming.
    Drove it gently and nothing fell off. Have to get the ECU tweaked and get the alignment checked.

    And thank you as well. Yes MI winters suck. I need to be a snow bird out in AZ somewhere.
