Time for a pressure wash.

Ok so I took the grille off, bought adhesion promoter and paint but didn't use it because ethree told me to use SEM paint. I also took some pictures of the engine and plastic front bumper I picked up used today for $10. It has a crack in it but it's pretty decent for the money.





I tried to show the date on the radiator but I blew it. It says 07/22/2004.














I know, I know the pics are kind of monotonous, but I wanted to show how clean it was and make sure I got everything covered so people could comment on it. I took these at 11:50pm so it was really dark out.

theres no lock.

I wonder why I would have a Euro box handle?

SEM is the company that makes the paint. It is flat black and has a slight texture which matches the plastic trim perfectly. Your good local paint supplier should carry it.

Thanks

Well hurry up!

So I just looked under the hood and the thing is soooo clean. It looks brand new. I couldn't really see it well last night cause it was really late and in a dark apartment complex lot. The condition of the engine bay really backs up his claims that many things have been replaced and what not under the hood. I could see for one that the radiator was replaced (or manufactured) in 07/2004. I'll get some pictures of it here in a few minutes.
