Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Went to the junkyard today. Got me injector clips, the bolt for the S/C that the EGR heat shield attaches to, and a lot of spare fuses. Also grabbed 2 ratchet straps, and then saw a Regal GS and grabbed the window and door lock module thingy. So if anyone needs one, just PM me.

Replaced a section of the wheel speed sensor wire last week.
Today I drove it home. Service abs popped up on the dic and cleared itself in an instant after starting. No lights ever came on the dash. These 04+ cars have so much more electronics and it shows. Lots of little electrical occurrences my 02 never could do.

I rolled over 186k miles.

mine as 143k on it :P

Getting the 02 ready to sell. Resealing my leaky taillight, filling in stone chips with touch up, spraying antibacterial spray in the air inlet with the blower on.(I get a moldy smell with the AC on) Also blew out the cabin air filter. And a few other odds and ends that a buyer would have brought up.

After I got home after hitting 186k I decided to give her a good bath. Washed it, chamoised it dry, wiped the dirty ass door sills down, tire wetted the tires, wiped the whole interior down with vinyl and leather cleaner, then wiped the seats down with leather treatment.

Always feels good to have a clean car, inside and out.

True, true. That's why you wax it then lol. I juts use spray wax, does the job good enough.

Clay bar'd and waxed the Camaro, I have to go back through with rubbing compound and maybe some sand paper if I want to get it back to potential.

Also finished the throttle body rebuild, installed it and now the only thing stopping it from running is the fuel line, which by the way the old one is gone and the new one is connected in the front, run where it's supposed to, and I just need to replace from the fuel filter back/up then bolt the lines back in their correct places.
So close I can smell the rubber.
And no progress on the 383 build yet.

The grand prix parts collection is rising again too, I have sway bar end links, ball joints, driver side CV shaft, Dorman sway bar, Addco stabilizer bar, and everything to finish the stereo system. Got turns?

There isn't any rain in the forecast for at least a few days, and it was dusty as hell so it needed done. LOL

I need to get some wax on it, but want to try to touch up the hood after winter took its toll in it first. I have some black spray detailer I might put on tomorrow in the meantime though.

Waxes? We don't need no stinking waxes. Waxed this once in 14 years-

Buff and wax her and she'll shine like a grape in a goat's ass.

It would be slick as owl snot on a greased glass doorknob but why? Hail dents, bondo cracks, and rust bubbles galore.

You're like any other car guy. You know all the defects so to you you're like meh, but to a passerby they are like hot damn.

Yeah I only shot it so it would be all one color.

Now we need pics of your detail job, of Red's engine, and of the shinier Aaro Camaro.

This build was called the AeroCamaro, back when my GTP was new-

Not the best picture, but at least it's reflective now. Beforehand if you looked for your reflection it looked muddy.

I need to Back to Black the lower trim on the front and rear bumper covers and polish the pig snouts. I need to go do a photoshoot once I get it done up fully.
