I got a lot done this weekend... (archive)

After seeing a posting the other day about using door molding to "chrome" the lower grill, I went to Pep Boys, cut the strups and pushed them on. The grill of my '98 1.9l is different than the previous poster's car but it works just the same. And for $3.99 not bad...

Saturday, I tackled the biggest project to date. I decided to paint the calipers red. Having little to no experience taking wheels off cars, I must say I learned a lot. Let's just say I'm a little sore today from all the lifting and stooping.

I think they look good though.

Let's just hope this rain in LA goes away.
