at least i can afford to work on my car

 

U sure? Cus coulda sworn u was whining bout shop prices not to long ago. I work my own car so I don't worry bout money

 

I work on my own car because I don't want the shop to jack it up worse.

So far, have not taken my G to the shop for anything besides having tires mounted balanced, and I even brought the tires to them.

 

That's a true car enthusiast. When u work on ur car and can take pride in ur work. And learn some man skills while ur at it

 

Thank you, Sir!

Funny thing, the coffee cup (a Christmas gift from our neighbors) I'm drinking out of right now says:

"I'd rather be in my Garage."

 

I remember juice did install a license plate frame or something once before

 

No that was his mech. Juice took the pic . So I guess in a way he was a part of the install project?

 

Oh yeah that's right..dang juice..

 

lol i installed my z-tube. pshh

 

Took advantage of the 52F day.

Washed, compound, polished, waxed. Polished the headlights and then sealed them.

Vacuumed and cleaned interior. Tried polishing a few light scratches out of windshield, got maybe 50% of them out. Tire gloss.

Drinking some beer, wife is cooking some buffalo wings for the Superbowl, good times.

 

Damn int n ext in one session? Thats energy. I can only do one or the other per day lol. Then I'm tired

 

Took from dusk till dawn, I'm exhausted, but it's done.

Now it's going to rain tomorrow. LOL!

 

Hatchman,

What products did you use to compound and polish your paint?

 

Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Polish. Nothing fancy, the G paint is so soft, it doesn't take much to polish out all the scratches. Followed up with some Meguiars Ultimate Wax with the DA, then one more time with the Megs Ult Spray Wax.

I've found that Meguiars gets all the scratches and oxidation out, everything but iron. Guy who had the car before must have lived or worked close to a railroad track.

 

Sent my tablet / gauge mold out for painting. Fixed static in driver side tweeter with more electrical tape. Also ordered new door window trim moldings on outside of door.
