We hit the other side of 50 degrees today, so the '06 got a visit to the Autobell for the "Deluxe" treatment. After a wash, wax, vacuum, and detail by by a couple of twenty somethings with non-aching backs...it's once again presentable.(Or close enough for now)
Now to set aside a weekend to attend to the corrosion on all four doors, sigh.

Replaced the heater blower fan on Sunday. What a PITA!
I was cursing GM for asking me to cut the fan cup with a utility knife. Taking a knife to the car scares me.
After removing the glove box
You can see the bottom of the fan cup that has to be cut out with a knife. Really hard around the back where the floor gets in the way.
You can also see the sound shield hanging down below. I augmented this with a layer of MLV and then a bunch of 3M sound batting left over from my doors. Makes the fan much quieter.
Typical hhr project for me: I can do this and save a ton! <mid project> oh crap this sucks I wish I paid the dealer to do this...
Proud it's done though

Remember the visit Mr plow did on my Panel?
FINALLY sorted out with the ins. and the guilty party. I'll save you all reading a novel about that .Lets just say sometimes you have to do the "legwork " despite how angry it makes you.
It's in the shop

Glad to hear that FoxHat , maybe get those rims sprayed with your choice of colour or black while it's in the shop!!
yesterday the snow blower ate a newspaper the delivery person left in the middle of the driveway, nice jesture! A free sample , well it was buried under 5 inches of snow, it jammed the thrower impeller. $85.00 for belts and an impeller pulley. and the newspaper states its not their concern. Yeah!!
today, it's clear and sunny and -32 with the wind chill so just going to get a coffee with the guys ( yes Tim Horton's coffee )

If not, I guess I can move this over there.
