Default (PICS) Spring Break Fun
So this week I have been on spring break. Since i didnt go anywhere I spent the entire week working on my car. Monday I installed new weatherstripping on the Windshield and B pillar as well as the rear and side windows. I painted the calipers yesterday. Today I washed clay bar'd polished waxed - you name it I did it today. I also installed Hella Headlight conversions. I bought the weatherstripping from Willcox, great deal Heres some pics to show it off




Ya he wanted to help

Easy job, the two sections took me a few hours of cleaning and installation.

do you have to take the windscreen out? I busted the windshield on a previous car (hood opened at 100mph ) and what I witnessed the monkey do that I paid to fix it has scarred me for life
