    undercar cleanup

    so i put in a new clutch slave today and finished around 10:30, then i was like well hell the cars on the lift and the shop is dead today, ill clean some shit up while im down here. yeah, so i pretty much gave up on things like the tranny, and diff cause ill just do that when i change the clutch, but i got the steering rack, the sway bars, steering arms, oil pan, all the covers... shit like 16 years of dirt, oil, grease, and cosmoline coated everything but then once i finished up and got everything off and it was looking great, i had to drive it home in the rain... lame.
    yeah im bored and figured waisting you guy's time was a good thing to do, haha

        A clean undercarriage makes wrenching less of a pain....plus if something develops a leak, you'll spot it quickly. I like to powerwash the underside at least a couple times a year. Usually use some form of a potent degreaser too.
