New Spring Mod #2
So.... Every year I keep adding/changing/upgrading things to my car. The one thing that always seems to annoy my each and every year was my coolant ovelow tank. I always hated the way the "yellow" bottom part always stood out among my engine.
This year I decided to do something about it and purchasd a new OEM coolant overflow tank and had it painted to match the color of my car.
(I can already hear the comments from forum members saying "how will you ever know the coolant level since you painted over the "clear" bottom section".)
Well, I've had my car for over 15 years. I can't ever recall one instance when I had to ever check the coolant level. I get the car serviced every year (whether it needs a service or not) and maintain everything that it needs.
I wipe the car down everytime I take it out, and now I just take my coolant cap off the tank and check my level.
I think from an appearance standpoint, it has definatly achived the look I was going for. From a mechanical standpoint, it's a brand new tank, with a brand new "sensor" attached, so I think I'm in good shape.
Here's a couple of pics to let you see what I did...

Nice work on the tank. Looks great.
... it looks good just not practical
