I am by far still a newbie with little funds, so with the help of a family member and tech, i just cleaned and painted.


Pancho your setup looks sick, looks orgainized which is what im going for.
Thanks, its still a work in progress. Over the winter I want to repaint under there and get some new hardware. I hate looking those 18yr old strut bolts and what not

Its hard not to want it to be clean, with a website like this and all the info it encouraged me to take some pride and clean. It does help that the car is very new to me still too.
