Considering its my first time here and I only spent about 3 hours cleaning the car, I think I did great.

Next year's mods are already being planned, lol

So is that it Burton? Your expressing your emotions through your car? That does look really cool.

So yesterday I ordered 1 new tire. Last year I had a large metal object puncture my front tire. Although I had it plugged it still leaks at a slow rate. So I forked up the dough to get another tire. It should be ok as the other front has about 2 to three thousand on it. Not much in my mind. I hate road debris.
It's kind of strange in a way. When I purchased the car the stealership had three new tires on the car and one that had been aged quite a bit. Well that's the tire that took the puncture. Strange things happen.

You waited this long to buy a good new tire? about time eh? But yes, things always have a funny way of working out. Which tire you buy?

well its maybe not as "good" as some of the other pics but its my work and I did this all my self (very first cluster bulb upgrade/change out) and got all the lights in first time around (not sure HOW I pulled this off) but I got every bulb to light first time with out having to flip any of them around, and I have to say WOW what a difference and vast improvement over the stock bulbs!!!

I changed out the turn signals (green) and the gauges (amber)

Weird weather yesterday and this for upcoming week. It really didn't hit mid-40's until the afternoon, so I took advantage and finally washed and blow dried the Mustang. I put another coat of Liguid Glass too.

Although I prefer to spend two straight days cleaning/detailing all the nooks and crannies, I'll probably have to do it in drips and drabs all week in between rain or more agreeable afternoon temps.

This morning's agenda: wheels and tires before the rain.

As soon as it's completely done, expect pics.
