Sorted out some rodent chewed wires under the hood... First time in awhile there aren't any warning lights on the dash. Wipers work too. Not bad...
New front suspension, original 2LT wheels installed with nearly new Goodyear Eagle GT's, all systems working.
So, I washed her for the first time in 4 years...

New to the HHR!
My 2008 Panel LS was previously one of a fleet of cars for a building maintenance and cleaning company.
I started cleaning it out and cleaning it up. Today I spent a couple hours working on removing vestiges of the entire vehicle wrap it once had... acetone, razor blades and sore fingers.
Last week I sprayed the back portion of the interior out at the car wash. Then I brought it home and used the shop vac to pick up all the water, and wiped most everything down... The carpet and the front seats are still horrendous. Could this have been the first time this car has ever been cleaned?! ...and the seats might be a lost cause for trying to clean.
It had two wheel covers left on it when I got it, but those two are all busted up.
I think I came up with what like on it for hub caps, but I only had three. Maybe I'll come across another one at the junk yard sometime.

Panels Are Great...Fortunately mine was never a fleet vehicle so I had very little cleaning to do after I bought it...been doing some upgrades though...If you don't mind saying, was wondering what miles are on it and what you had to pay...If your interested in some of the mods I did on ours (a 2008 2LT) PM me for a link.
Mine has a bit more then 220k and runs great. Got a great deal on it, it was not running, had to tow it away for the cleaning service that had retired it and subsequently lost all the keys, so I got it for $400.00

With only a $400.00 investment, you can do a LOT of upgrades.
