Default First Major Clean of the Year (pics)
Hi LS1 tech guys,
I took some pics today of my car after I gave it the first major clean of the year, what do you guys think?




The exhaust is standard SS, I simply hand-polished it (hard work).

Wish my engine bay was that clean:worship:

Not digging the tires or wheels though, they're Mustang Mach 1 wheels


Are you in the UK??? If so, why isn't the steering wheel on the other side?

Your car looks brand new, super clean engine, the weather in the UK sucks so I'm sure you take her out only on sunny days for her to look that good.

You REALLY need to do smth about those wheels!

Are you serious LOL, they didn’t make right hand drive models but they did make Euro spec Z28 models ,they sold them in Vauxhall (Opal) dealership from 1998-99 and they came with horrible fog lights in the rear bumper, firebird seats because of the adjustable headrests and came with the 5 spoke rims that came standard on the V6 models.

1999 euro spec Z28
