Nice brake bleeder. I will have to check it out at HF.

Thanks for the recommendation

I will definitely check that out; as brake bleeding is not one of those tasks that I am good at.

I am happy with it. I can see how a die hard old school tech may not like it though. It is a compromise when you are all alone. I feel you do waste a lot of brake fluid in the process as it is difficult to see when actual system air bubbles are depleted versus air bubble being drawn in through the bleeder threads themselves so you tend to do more bleeding than may actually be needed. Bottom line is it works for me but I can see how some may be skeptical with it.

Anyways I wirewheeled clean the sway bars this morning and then epoxy primed and 2k painted them.

All bare and ready for primer:

Letting the bars cure up another day in the sun before I pop them on. Today I cleaned the engine bay real quick....was just a bit dusty.

Spray down with ONR, mist on some super clean and brush it in and blast it off with some more ONR and dry and coat with 303 on the plastics and some quick spray wax on the painted surfaces.

The engine compartment was just SO dirty before you cleaned it - how do you look in the mirror each morning? LOL!! I believe you have way surpassed me as the pickiest SOB car owner!!! Kudos on your attention to detail (not the first time I have said so)!!!!

What I really like under the hood is that it all would pass for stock to someone not familiar with these cars aside from the plate on the intake, the valve cover script and the radiator cap!

Damn. Thats one fine looking box.
