New plates came the other day.












Also, my rear wheels finally arrived. Too bad they're in Washington DC and I'm in Ohio. I got something to look forward to when I get back. Shocks and lowering kit will be put on then also. Waiting on my Corbeau seats to come. Should be soon I hope. Bought a nice new buffing wheel the other day. Just waiting for a nice day out to wax the car.

Spent the whole evening detailing the engine bay and waxing the car. Engine bay looks so much cleaner now.



And when the sun hits it.....


And trust me, it could be cleaner. The trim below the windshield needs done and a couple things need smoothed out, but overall, at least it's presentable now.

Wow, looks really good! Hey do you ever use Simple Green under the hood? It seems to work well.

Looking good! I bought some of that mother's back to black and it did that trick on the trim below the wind shield and the weather stripping. I have to do something about the wiper frames though.

I got this stuff that is supposed to restore black plastic. Put some on the brake vent. Made it look real good. I'll have to play with it some.

Also, I've been using that Black Restorer that I posted above on a lot of stuff, like the brake vent, trunk liner and yesterday, the windshield wiper area. Makes it look way better! It's the little things that make the car really look good.
