Painted the faded gold Chevy emblems black.

 

Here's the front.

 

Tried to do the driver's side armrest "fix", (too low), but couldn't get the plastic cover off. Afraid I was going to break it....

 

Looks great! It's better than applying vinyl or plasti dip. I like it!

 

Nice job on the Bowties orlandjoe, looks good!

First day back to work since Mom's passing, being able to lose myself in the accumulated paperwork helped, but the steady stream of my employees coming to express their sympathies just about used my emotional batteries up.

Things still have a disconnected and dreamlike feel to them, but with the kind thoughts and prayers of my family here, things will get easier.

 

Oldblue is still in the body shop for the door seam rust, so I'm gonna coach the new neighbour on how hang gates on the new fence.

Mike take Michelle and Dusty out in Paddy for a drive and burgers after work tonight, it's a great way to start a new focus on you and your family, I bet you'll hear your Mom tell you that's to much salt on your fries! I know I did 6 years ago today!

 

Fixed my broken sunroof! I had the opposite problem that most HHRs have. Mine wouldn't retract. Just sit there and click loudly telling me to stop. Removed the headliner, that was easy. Removing the ENTIRELY glued wiring harness was not!

Got the sunroof down and found a little piece broken on the arm that raises/lowers the roof (jeez these things are cheap!) Once that was repaired, we're fully functional and now it's all back together. Saved myself some serious bucks there. Dealer wanted $1700 to replace the track, yeah I think not!

 

Day three in the body shop! They said its out for clean and detail, they'll call later today!

 

today I got my HHR out of my garage for the first time in a year. and if I could figure out how to post photos from the mobile site I would show how dusty it got sitting in a barn.

 

I got the call to pick up the HHR late yesterday, they will send a car to pick me up this morning, it's all detailed and ready for me!
