Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

How about some maintenance?

washed it, it was getting hard to see out the windows.

I went to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. My aunt, my uncle, and one of my cousins all mentioned how dirty my car was and that they had never seen it that dirty.

I was going to wash it today but the weather was crappy so I let mother nature wash her off.

My 2 rear tires are shot as well thanks to dead struts. That's next on the list after I recover from the cost of the bushings for the Bonne. With the wife loosing her job sooner or later (thanks US Cellular) we've had to prioritize things a bit more than usual to get ready for it.

Yeah, I got my hours cut at work so as if things weren't hard enough before...they are worse now. I know it needs attention, its just expensive things that I can't afford right now. Rotating them has kept them even and fine for 2 years, so it'll keep working I hope.
Car is getting to the point to start needing parts and such. Once I get caught up and back on my feet, the car can get more attention I hope.

Replaced the EGR after the P1404 and P0404 errors kept coming up. The old one looked pretty dirty compared to the junkyard one, so hopefully its fixed.

Polish your headlights ^^^^

Wetsand and polish.

Bought a new 300pc Craftman tool set, all for the 3800.....at least primarily it is !!!

Ok this is not working - it seems that the red is the base color
here are the results and look at the light in some pics to see where the color can come off and where it wont.
Going to try sand paper next.
