Default Serious Cleaning Today

Well, today I finaly got around to doing what I have wanted to do forever.
Clean the inside of the salad shooters I also decided I would clean up the engine bay and detail it some. I also sprayed a bunch of Gunk under the motor and down the underbody. I took some pictures, but not many. I kinda forgot sorry.

Here what the wheels looked like before.


Heres where it went from there. But I forgot to take pics when I was done. They all came out pretty good, minus a few spots.


I also cleaned out the fender wells and such, but I didnt take any pics of it after I was done.

Here is the wheel mounted.


After the engine bay was done.




A pretty successfull day. I took my time on the engine bay and used a rag and some simple green, not a water hose. I used sea foam afterwards and the car run great still.

Not bad for a 12 year old car if I say so.

Yup, and IMO looks better than an LS1, too. Minus the alternator that could power my house.

I used a combination of Eagle-One Tire and Wheel Cleaner and Simple Green. It took a couple applications and some scrubbing with a good stout brush. I didn't get a picture of it, but on each wheel there is a small spot coming in about a inch and half from the inside ege towards the middle. Each wheel has this same spot in the same place. I can't figure out why, but oh well It still looks alot better.

Oh and I didn't know my front shocks were orange too..

LoL.. maybe later when my wallet finds the funding... I am doing what I can with what I got to work with...

But my lastest bling was this..

That didnt cost me too much.

I am wanting to get those aluminum caps from thunder racing and the throttle body plate. I saw one I want last night.
