I took a trip back to the parts palace to return the ball joint press tool, then off to the post office to send the worn LCA bushings back to my supplier, then off to 1/2 price wings at our favourite sports bar! Oldblue got drenched in a downpour of rain while driving home , so much for the wash and detailing from Monday.
I finally got busy and painted up that chrome grille, I got off Solman98, thanks very much
two coats of plastic primer, then two coats of etching primer, 4 light coats of Flame Red and two coats of clear coat! Voila!!
I had to do something to make the grill look presentable. I am more worried about getting the mechanical stuff all gone through right now but had some spray wrap laying around.
I drove it today XD
Since I have a 2006 i don't have the instant MPG option, so just for fun I reset my Average while cruising on the highway. Apparently I am getting 38 MPG steadily at 55 MPH!!! Pretty good for a nearly all original 2006 with 234000 miles.
