            Finished painting the center caps on the weaves and cleaned up the trim with Back to Black, resprayed my rockers and grills ( kidneys are still chrome ;) ) took the seats out and cleaned every inch of my interior. :D And lastly, used an old can of Copenhagen and poked holes in the lid for some coffee grounds air freshener.

            Man, do I feel good about today. :)

                            Figured out Gods way of telling me to start looking for a 1jz drivetrain is oil in my coolant... Other than that, new rad(thanks ill4noreason), flushed coolant system and new oil/ oil filter.


                            Go here be happy!

                                Stripped the whole interior and cleaned it up real good. PO was a high school girl. I found about $4 in change, mascara, earrings, rings, socks, used condoms, new xl condom, comb, pens, lots of hair, a belt, packets of taco bell sauce, lighters, batteries, receipts, wrappers, shoe laces, remote to my aftermarket stereo (winning), dead bee ripped into 3 pieces, etc etc..

                                I really wanted to give up but glad I didn't. Looks like new after spending all day cleaning it lol.
