Haha no I feel like I got hit by a car because im decrepit and any physical activity makes me feel like I just got done losing an MMA fight... But I suffer through it and pretend it's a good time working on the car.

Once you really get into it it's very enjoyable. During the process not so much

restored the headlights. I found a thread on here the other day using a urethane for a coating and it turned out pretty good

Them lights came out great

I got the rest of the coilovers on...





Kinda wish I had gotten some spring compressors because the way the Z is set up is much more difficult to get the strut out then other cars ive replaced suspension on... But hey when the cargo srap method doesn't work you gotta do what you gotta do... Anyone need some free oem unequal length lowering springs?

dusted out the engine bay, waxed the cover, and all other painted pieces, dusted and cleaned the inside, treated and protected all seals, waxed jams and inside door.

Next clean up and improve some interior pieces and wash the exterior. Place a couple ZdayZ stickers and start list of ZdayZ Prep.

Awwww man white might need to be my next color change, I have new wheels in my tire rack shopping cart but im dragging *** like a champ. Its hard to give up on the anniversary wheels.

How off was your alignment after the coilovers? I just put mine on and my car still drives straight as an arrow... I didnt lower it much though... Im curious how off it will be once I get It to the alignment shop.

Mine was off but that's probably because I played with the camber in the rears to make sure I didn't rub when I first installed them. I lowered it just enough to get rid of the gap (about an inch?)... The shop adjusted me to -3.5 degrees in the rears, toe back to zero. I wish I got arms up front but the natural camber is sitting at about -2.5ish degrees.

Dropped off at the body shop for a repaint on the RQP and some PDR on the doors. Also looking into purchasing a '16 kia rio/soul in the next few months.

Didn't do a dang thing to it but take it out and "didn't-baby-it" for several hours in the hills and along the coast.






Pigeon Point Lighthouse. I'm sure I've displayed this sight before but I never tire of it, and this is a new view of it I'd never seen before, down along a tiny road running near the edge of the small cliffs.


Have for so long wanted to park on this bridge and shoot a few shots...but alas, it's got a chain across the entry. Psh.
