Well tried to fix my seat today. Took apart the other one completely (junk yard seat). Well didnt remove base cushion form the track but yeah.

Figured out mine has a SNAPPED OFF recline lever... and the whole mechanism needs to be changed to the dirty JY one. But I sprayed it off with some air and it looks almost better. Gasoline and a paint brush tomorrow will make it better than my seat's.

Then I believe my seat will be fixed!

Well my car has a water leak on the passenger footwell... it likely has had it the entire time Ive owned the car... just a cheesy mat was covering it until I cleaned the interior last weekend :headbang:

So gotta work on that.

And a pic from my last excursion to Parker's

I didnt even own the wax... it was my neighbors.

Either way, I may buy some really detailing products here soon.

Pics tonight, in the sunset... :)

Yesterday night gave my car an amateur detail! Took me 3.5 hours!

First a bath with Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash.. the $3.50 pink stuff from walmart.

Next a clay bar job with Meguiar's clay from walmart. It worked good, but I warn, it is a very hard clay. I used griots on another car at John Parker's shop, and it was MUCH softer.

And last I used some of my neighbors Meguiar's cleaner wax. I applied with my hand, and it worked good.

I loooooooooovvve Griots. Their clay is awesome. :p

Should have done rubbing compound, glaze, then wax. :)

Like the HU?

Luke's recommendation. Amber mathces perfectly, looks great. Color choices are cool, and cheap.

Its either that or this kenwood: http://www.google.com/search?q=KDC-X...-8&sa=N&tab=fw

Pioneer does everything that does, but just has 2 rca pairs, not 3. And they are lower voltage, but who cares. Color makes up for it!

COLOR!!!

That Deck actually looks pretty appealing...
