Plastic thing around the TB elbow/oil cap came out like nuts, will be redoing that And having "new" stuff REALLY shows off how nasty everything else looks... Edit: Looks a lot nicer than before, though....

Hey Stig, Looking good! Are you going to clear coat everything you polish? It will last alot longer. Tuff Stuff works really good at cleaning engine compartments.

I'm gonna see how long it lasts. Since I'll be doing the original valve cover eventually, I'll clear it and the intake if I decide it's worth it

Ok, since I've done that... The power antenna broke. I just glued it in the "up" position and unplugged the motor. The right front tire has developed a slow leak. (something about this car and leaks...) This morning I walked out to this: Tonight I diagnosed my belt screeching issue. I need to learn to stop looking. The screeching was the tensioner pulley cutting into the timing cover. The grinding/clunking is the water pump, which is done. The alternator bearings are making noise. One of the idlers is done. FML.

Auto ADD has set in again I'm not sure about it. I think I'll like it better once it matches the trim, like I had in mind (aka... once it's filthy).

Are you talking about your grill? If you are, i agree. With it black, you can't even see it. Looks like there isn't one there.

Yeah. The goal was a kind of high contrast look, like this Jetta... The VW pulls it off a lot better but we'll see if it grows on me.

Stepping up the game against salt/rust/etc. My Subie fanboi friend is pissed that I have these and he doesn't (three Subaru's in each of those shots.... welcome to Vermont....) Definitely gotta work on the installment in the back, but so far so good. Live and die by the selftapper/ziptie
