It does look nice when it's taken care of. Don't you just love how extraordinarily hot your car gets when it sits outside :-)

Did some adjusting of the gaps from fender to hood and hood to front bumper.

This is the hood to bumper gap before




And After, looks much better I think





I also took off the military registration stickers on the windshield, cleaned up the interior, OH YEA AND DROVE IT DOWN THE STREET!!

Fixed the ABS issue that was causing the car to brake it self when you tried to drive. Turns out the little rubber bumper on the brake pedal that pushes the plunger in on the brake switch was broken/missing. So anytime the battery was connected the brake lights were on. Well that switch tells the car that I'm "using the brakes" even though I wasn't. Thus activating the abs to do it's thing and try to stop the car. So I found a little clip piece in my spare parts from working at Mercedes. It fit right in the hole on the brake pedal and activates the brake lights on and off perfectly. NO MORE ABS issue!

yes, its not in a cabinet though, it siphons sand from a bucket and you have to wear a hood. Im sure it would, I was blasting some wheels on a trailer with the lug nuts on and it was stripping them, making them dull.

That's cool, probly easier then using chemical stripper and more environmentally friendly. Not that I really care. Is it portable? how do you contain the sand? or do you not. lol

definitely enviro friendly, and no I dont contain the sand lol I put a tarp down and I try and catch some of it to be reused. Its easily portable but you need a good air compressor, I have a 60 gal so I never have to stop, Id imagine a 30 gal would be ok, but you'd have to take breaks

Pretty sure I'm missing the top section of the split air pipe that goes from the LIM to the cat. Anyone have one?

You can see it here, this picture is from my MB FD that I used to have.

Yes I did just buy the pump and no it didn't come with the bracket, there's only one, but I did ask the guy that sold it to me if he happened to have it.
