Danielle's 99 GT :)





Well, I woke up at 7 all geared up and ready to hand wash the car and break out the PC for the first time.

That is until I got out to the car and saw that it was only 7* outside.
But I tried anyways and failed, decided that not getting sick and not getting frost bite sounded a lot more fun.
And, there was also a nice 3' drift right in front of the garage door at work yesterday and I sure didn't feel like shoveling that after I would have froze myself to death washing the car.

I did use some of my new SSR2 by hand and was very impressed with the improvements that it made in the paint. So I can only imagine how much better its going to look when I use the PC.

Most likely, going to wait until spring to do it now, because it's just to dang cold outside to be washing by hand.

The motor didn't get washed either.
Its going in for an oil change Saturday, so I'll have him check it out when its lifted up and see if they can find anything from that angel to narrow it down a little.
(Yes, I know I should change my own oil (but I've never learned how), and when I got 4 changes for $50, can't really pass that up.)

Sorry for the update full of fail :(
 
Most important thing is to get those tips put on.:cool:
I know!! I got 1 cleaned up, probably work on the other one tonight. They did clean up very well so far.

false hope woman...
Yes, yes I know....
All I do is tease tease tease and deliver nothing but false hope :p

Just you wait, once I do get the chance to use the PC, wash the motor and get the tips on...this thread will be overflowing with WIN :th_king-normal:
 


huh?

I bought the ebay linked one...
I snatched it up for $114 primed (I could justify that now and $100 later this spring over $320 all at once)
Guess I'm hoping it doesn't cost $200 to get painted.

Your a paint guru, how much does it run to paint something like that?
 
Ok, that's kinda what I was thinking/hoping.
No worries, I think I have a resource I can use.

I'm gonna get prices once I get it and can take it for estimates.
But I probably won't get serious about painting it till spring/summer just so it's nicer out and doesn't have to go thru all the salt and stuff right away.

I will do a teaser shot once it arrives tho :p
 
i bet if you shop around you can get that painted for 50. i had a whole grill for my 97 gmc and the both door sills painted for $75, and they did a bang up job, total paint match batman!

body shops love when you just drop stuff off too. the less they have to touch it the cheaper it get for us.

Nooo you can't wait! Get some ONR or Spray and Wipe and wash it in the warmth of the garage with no water....And yes, SSR2=win when you use the machine.
