Ordered some ceramic Q45 pads (low dust because white wheels)
Assembly
Looking gooood to me
After i changed bearing and put all together feel some PULSE when braking
saw rotor disk had uneven marks when braking so i did a rotor resurfacing (shop did)
Next: engine refresh!
when i got the car was misfiring, idle was bad and had no water, oil or any other fluid into it
i add some but it was so dirty that i had to flush everything from engine
This is how FUEL looks into my fuel lines
Gear Oil
Got this pump from harbor freight ($6) and use it to remove any fluids from car
Pumping oil back to Transmission (easier than removing shifter)
Ordered a new oxygen sensor from ebay $12 (Denso Japan)
for that price i prefer to get a new one instead cleaning old one
And new NGK BKR5EGP spark plugs (ebay $11)
Car starts and runs GREAT after all those things
(plus gas cleaner, seafoam)
The car was stolen from prev owner and they bent the trunk/garnish to open it
i got a trunk and wing for $20 from Facebook
Also from FB rear garnish and front bumper
Mine was cracked and the one i got it was worst actually, prev owner did holes all over that i had to cover somehow
working on rear garnish
got some Left Fender from Facebook
After peeling the paint i saw it had some dents on it..
So i decided go ahead and try to do some BODY work
Removing Paint from Trunk
that is the best paint stripper i ever used, it goes all thru core surface, trunk had 3 layers)
Klean Strip Premium Stripper (Strongest)
get the one NON-Sprayable, spray lost presion after a few wheeks
Primered
Sanding
