DARKEST SKETCH
While I had it apart for a tune-up, I started the long and tedious process of cleaning/detailing my engine compartment:

Left side, before and after:




Right side, before and after:





That was done only with Simple Green and a bunch of rags. I plan on power washing it soon but I'm already amazed at the difference! :psyduck:

Next on my list are to replace all the vacuum and coolant hoses and associated clamps. I'm still debating on whether or not to replace some of the crumbling plastic wire loom or just re-wrap everything with electrical tape. Oh man what am I getting myself into :cripes:

DARKEST SKETCH
I found the long lost wreckage of a paper plane I made from a random toll booth receipt :neckbeard:






I do this at least once a year and the looks and muffled chatter of neighbors and random people passing by will never not be amusing to me.
Also it's the only way to really clean between the seats and console in this car, and I recovered almost enough change for one Illinois toll. :unsmith:
