Decided to wash my girl up and clean up the interior.
Check the fluids and whatnot.
I hope you enjoy the pics!

Yup. Took it out the other day and am shooting clutch fluid. Refilled master cylinder and after 6 shifts was empty again. Time for new master, slave and ss line.

Nice pictures by the way. Paint is probably even more amazing in person.

Interior looks good too.

Well I just got the FC off the jackstands last night (the wee hours of this morning, actually ) Hopefully I'll be able to take it for a quick test drive tomorrow.

Look good!

I take my car out of winter hiding for a start and cruise around the block atleast every 2 weeks. Every month in a half I take it out with a permit.

The last visit with the car, I did my usual start up and exhaust is coming out between the turbo and mani. So the car is currently in limp mode and suspecting the problem to be a gasket or cracked mani. If the turbo is done then i'll get my bnr stage 3 sooner!

The car is in deep need of a wash and the wheels cleaned up nice and shiny. The paint in this picture just lets me down .... Give it 2-3 months, I got a shineauto kit ready to go on with a black and green flake respray.

I wasn't aware that texans needed to hide their cars in the winter?

Mine's still under the knife the garage, hiding from the (recently melted and currently piling back up again) snow.

I've been a little busy!!

It's appropriate when your car is getting paintballed and you have things to put on it. Plus this is the season for hail. Maybe it's not winter hiding! but it's hiding from something.

T2 looks great bloodlust. I can't wait to finish my s5 conversion like yours. I've got one of those cup holders too, they are essential. Get a little perilous sometimes when you have like a 40z in there. Modernized tails FTW (even though I sold my last set and have yet to do my new ones )

Mine just came out last week, there she is hiding in the garage:



Classicauto I know what you mean by busy:
