I spray some tire shine lightly over the whole engine once a year, seems to keep rubber supple. Kinda spreads like it does on tires and shines the whole engine too
but everything has to all ready be pretty clean to do that

It's stuck on by a two sided adhesive pad, which isn't meant to come off.

There were a few extras included so I guess as long as you can get your hands on the pads you can pull it off as much as you want

Achilles ATR Sport 255 /40 ZR17 (Rear)
ARP extended wheel studs with 12mm slip on wheel spacers all the way around

I reused my Achilles rear tires since the Toyo Proxes Sport A/S 255 /40 R17 are currently back ordered.
Looks sweet AF with that setup. Nice work, I have similar spec wheels and cannot wait to get them on once tires arrive.

I pulled it into my garage to give it a break from the sun. I also filled the tires with air since it’s been a while.

I finished washing it. It looks much better but I’ll need to get it repainted.

This was on Friday, however displayed the 'ol gal at work for a small employee-only car show to celebrate our company's love for cars.

Gave mine a much deserved hand wash. A friend picked me up a bottle of Adam's polish/wax and a nice pad to go with my new (Amazon special) buffer. I also applied some Adam's Graphene ceramic coating to my headlights after a good polish. My car is a ten footer - most of the paint is good, but my hood, passenger side fender, and a few little spots just simply aren't worth the time or effort for a hardcore paint correct and ceramic coating. However, I'm excited to use the new wax pad and polish/wax combo regardless. Although I'll probably hit Darcy's (my wife's) Cooper S first since it's much newer with nice paint still.

I'll let you know how the ceramic coating does on the headlights. A good polish goes a long ways, but a month or two later they're always due for a re-do.

Default 901 miles

Well the odo says me and the Bullet did 901 miles this tues wed and Thursday, I'll be posting more on the trip in my build. Here's a pic I took of the car at 4 Corners on tues

If anyone has thoughts of visiting such an Iconic place, all I have to say "Don't bother", The monument is rather impressive but the rest of it is a mess IMHO.
The car was great, flawless as it has been on our trips these last almost 20 yrs. Being a 30 yr old stock, almost untouched car always amazes me

Found time to apply tire dressing…. Wheels could be cleaner but will save that for next round….
