Cvcrcr's project/fix-up thread (version 1.1)
Rear sway bar was re-installed.
DIY center caps! Cleaned up the wheels, too.
Finally re-painted the VC!
Before:
During:
Cooked in the oven for 30 min at 200 F:
Lettering sanded and polished up. All done!
Also started working on getting the 3pt strut bar to fit correctly. I need to pick up some more supplies for my dremel first though.

I thought you said that the 3 pt strut bar was made of thin material and wasn't worth using? If not, post up some pictures! I really want one and if your experience is good, I might put that on my list...
No pics of the strut bar or anything. I spent a good portion of the day installing the JTC short shifter.

Stock gone:
^^The little black tray that is riveted and painted with undercoat is probably the ONLY good thing that the shop actually did to the car. Everything else I ended up re-doing myself.
JTC short shifter installed:
If you ever own a H22 motor/trans, get this short shifter. It is on the "DD" position and it feels like the shifter moves a total of 5mm from 1st to 2nd. Love it.
O and a center cap fell off earlier today while driving.
Guess I need to figure out how I can get them to stay a little better.

Thanks!
Coolant change over the weekend. Had the front end lifted up and actually ran out of gas while burping the system lol.
Replaced the wideband sensor and everything is working great again on the gauge. It was stuck on 14.7/14.8 no matter what.
Took a Scion tC diversion panel home form work (they were discontinued), and started hacking it up to see if I can get it to fit my car. Still needs work, but I think I will be able to get it to work nicely! I will be painted or powder coated in some way once I can get it to fit 100%.
