Yesterday was the annual Port Townsend cruise in WA. This being the first big show of the year, I was frantically trying to get the car ready. I was out of the state the week before the show, so the last 48 hours were very busy!

Here's the work I completed:
-Cleaned ICV, new hoses
-New thermostat
-New oil separator hoses
-Euro tow hook covers + bumper plugs, painted Henna
-New bumper tape
-Polished car
-ZHP Shift knob + new boot
-New distributor oil seals + cam seal
-Power steering res. hose

The bumper tape, plugs and euro tow hook covers totally transformed the front end. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out (now for new fogs, and Euro grilles are on the way!)

After:





As for the actual cruise, the car made it there and back with no issues. Definitely felt sound & solid, and got 24.2 MPG round trip. Here's a few pictures other people took, I'll add more as they come in.
