Nothing like diving right in. Very Nice..

 

I reached out to a member here, Truckingeek , he has that insert! What an awesome family of HHR folks.
I figured the plugs are original, at about 108,000 miles, so I ordered up 4 AC Delco 41-103 iridium plugs from RockAuto
and changed them today, and yup they were the OEM plugs.
Now , on to the Dexcool, maybe next month.


Sleeper, don’t stop me now, I’m having a good time!! Having a good time!!!

 

The bin looks good. A lot of that stuff scratched pretty easy...

You are making me want to buy one, and play with it again!

 

Nice new ride Oldblue,
Miss my first HHR
it was a 2LT rental.
Fun machine Enjoy the ride !

 

Thanks Blue SS and DW. I still need to say goodbye to the 07, yes a lot of miles but documented maintenance.
Maybe Jay Leno will call, he likes weird cars with a great back story!
I spent today just going for a cruise, then dinner and a drive .
The Black Swan rolled 176,000 klms today.

 

No way, I'm enjoying your renewed enthusiasm with your new Black Swan.. Have fun..(& remember we like pics)..

 

Those dog claw marks in the driver side rear door

I buff these out with a heavier cutting compound, then swirl remover polish and a paste wax

 

Steve- Is that paint metallic ?

 

Yes, Carbon Flash metallic, but the claw marks are just on the clear coat.
It’s going in for the front and rear bumper covers to be repaired and resprayed, Fred said if the are any marks he will address them .

Today installed LED side marker light bulbs and LED 4 sided H13 headlight bulbs.
The new LCA’s are AC Delco , not Moog.
the new sway bar end links are also AC Delco.
the rear shocks have a yellow with blue sticker on them , possibly Bilsteins?
The four springs are clean , FE3 sport suspension springs, everything looks like it should. Almost like it’s never seen snow.

 

Cool, that is a sharp color.. And agree some cutting & buffing should get those claw marks out.

Rock on man..
