Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

We had a bearing go out on our calendar at work and we wont have a new one till monday so been off since Wed night. And figured I'd get some work done on the car.

And what started out as a minor cleaning turned into one O.C.D. moment after another I got started and just couldn't stop.

I started off by vacuuming the car trying to get all the cotton fibers from work out of everything, then wasn't happy with the dirt/stains, so I borrowed my father in laws power washer and washed the carpet, the plastics. Didn't get clean enough for me so I figured well I'll just die the carpet. But figured hey I plan to go full black so i'll just die it black now. I followed the tutorials on tuners, end well it got out of hand. And I also found some rust on the rear hatch when i pulled the plastics off so i'll address that when taxes come in.
I was also happy to find a full Kenwood Audio set up in the car, and I found a wire which I thought was my antenna wire hanging down so I did some research to figure out where it went on my stereo and to my excitement turns out not only is my stereo a touch screen but it also plays DVD's. So took my son for a ride when I was all done putting the car back together and installing the foam for the radiator/fan.
And we watched the movie "cars" on our way to Mcdonald's for icecream. My son was so excited lol.
