\nFinished 3 calipers this weekend, Just waiting on the last set of new guide pins to complete the last caliper.<\/p>\n

I hope to have the whole suspension assembly together tomorrow. Then I will move on modifications on the steering column later this week.<\/p>\n

I bought two new Raspberry PI version 2's (mini Computers). I was going to see if they have enough horse power to run a 3D model of a GTM, even if they don't I could pre-render the animations as the PI has 1080p video rendering on chip. I plan to have one run an LCD gauge cluster, the other will run an LCD in the center console (hope to fit a 10\" touch screen). I plan for this to run everything from AC\/Heat controls, engine start stop, doors, etc.<\/p>\n

I also purchased a double din Android deck that plays DVD's, supports navigation, hands free audio, digital radio, digital TV Tuner, Cellular internet, etc..... don't think I will end up using it in the car, might end up putting it into my GMC Sierra if the Raspberry PI setup ends up working for the GTM.<\/p>\n

Wife gave me the go to buy a lift for the garage. Currently looking at this one,

\nIts big enough to lift my truck or my van and tall enough to not hit the roof.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will mark exactly 2 weeks since filing my paperwork with transport Canada, still no reply from them and nothing in the mail. Hope to get something soon so the GTM can be shipped.<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
