On the Z: drove around with a boofsquire rack

On the Mog: Removed all wheels, dismounted tires, stripped wheels (plan to have them blasted and repainted). 155/15 tires came in :p

Replaced inner and outer front wheel bearings

Removed calipers and stripped 50 years of grime off them. Disassembled calipers for blasting and a rebuild.

Next is installing the full leather interior and replacing front seal.

Watched my front lip fly off on the highway...

I guess when I had a "spirited" run hitting 220 (km) that was too much for the lip and my bolt on job lol. I had slowed down to a normal type speed but i guess the damage was done...all my doing

bright side, when i came home and went into my garage, I didn't scrape lol

I use glass mf towels and use very small amount of WindowCleaner to do inside glass. :tup:
Doing glass is basically like 95% dependant on the towel.

Exterior glass I use decent amount of WindowCleaner.

That is very clever.

When you are done. You want to do mine? Give you a warm 6 pack and a cold pizza.

I'll let you know when I am done. But you have to come to me. Warm beer is fine as long as it hasn't spent time in the sun. Cold pizza is the reason microwaves were invented.

:eek: oh damn! I assume there is no GoPro footage? :icon17: Sorry to hear though. I don't have a front lip because I already have to be careful not to scrape on my driveway.

I finished detailing the Z including clay, two coats of Meguiar's Ultimate paste wax, and full interior with the exception of the following:

Tire and trim dressing (Super VRT due to arrive tomorrow)
Rear bumper clay and wax
Carpet cleaner for floor boards, hatch carpet, seats, and door panels.

My Z got dusty from the garage so I dusted if off, wax is still silky slippery....last time I drove it, 2 weeks ago.

She's happy being away from the harse elements. Meanwhile my WRX is loving this cool/cold weather. ;)

Used Dr. Colorchip to get rid of few chips on the hood and fender.

2nd wash and wheel detail in 2 days. Put a little too much tire goo on the rears and nearly spun out leaving my development. Wacky SC.
Paid to have the interior detailed because I really hate doing it plus the kid at the carwash gets a kick out of pulling it around.
