Thread: Weekend Stuff

Tweet

Well sometimes we have maintenance stuff that dominates our free time. For over a year I've neglected the paint on the 1993 Toyota 4x4 that my wife bought new after she graduated from college. So since it is a daily commuter with 185k on it, I decided to give it some TLC. I buffed the hood and roof which were severely oxidized with a 3m Rubbing compound, then washed and waxed it with turtle wax. It then recieved some armourall and now it looks like a million bucks, minus 17 years depreciation!
Next I tackled the other daily commuter, which had fogged over headlight covers. Again using a 3m product, I sanded the light covers down per instructions with the kit I bought on Amazon. They came out pretty good too!. So now it's time for a few brews and a nap!

Ahhh, a good days work and Mom happy to boot!!! A successful weekend!

I washed and waxed my dailey driver today its been good to me for the last 18 years...

Good call Stevie, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy...........

Thanks folks. What did everyone else do?

sweet looking trucks. i spent the weekend removing all the anti-polution crap from my engine.

I had to work this weekend, 12 hour days no less.

Drove four hours north to see my mother,and to visit friends.Had a good weekend,just a little damp coming back,and drove into some pretty hairy windy conditions,,just a reminder of how close we were to home..Its winter down here,and living close to the mountain means the weather seems to be a bit more unruly..The wind howled for a few hours last night,things got chucked around outside,and we woke to a nice bright warm day..[for a change].
This coming Friday we are heading south to a swap meet/display,in which we have a trade display with our fiberglass bits and pieces,and a recently finished T bucket with one of our bodies on display..Never a dull moment...

put some exhaust pipes on my stang .. quietened it down rite smart ..perhaps too much ..now i can hear all my lifters rattling ..
