Well only 7 days till the BIG spring meet and my Z is a bit dusty. Its a nice sunny March day in KY with a temp of about 57. Still a bit chilly out but I am going to brave the cold to get the Z super clean. I will post up a photo or two after I get finished.

Who else is going to clean their car today?

I got the picture department covered :D

Dane, I plan on cleaning the 240 some today, but will wax it later on in the week. I am currently wiring up my fogs to come on with my corners and not just my headlights. Will looks awesome when I am done I think :)

No cleaning yet for me. It's supposed to rain this weekend and next week, so hopefully we will have some decent weather before the meet so I can clean up the G.

Deatiling will have to wait as I'm doing the rear brakes this weekend. Nothing fancy, just changing pads (with shims) and runnign the rotors down to be turned.

Looks clean as ever.

Dan, I did mine different that yours. You ran a new swtich and everything, I didn't. I just wired them to come on as the corners do, that way I wouldn't have to have the headlights on to have the fogs on, just the corners. Looks great, I will get pics tonight.

The inside of this car is a continuation of the outside.;) I love the seats.They really hold you in place.One of my next mods will be to have them wrapped in leather.

All the junk in my car was tossed on Friday :D and she got the once over with the vacuum... too cold to do much else. Its soo nice to drive around and not hear stuff being toss around in the back, lol. Ill do a more detailed cleaning later this week when it gets closer to the meet... Can't wait to see everyone’s cars all cleaned up :) Ill be sure to take lots of pics this time...

Good thing I only did a preliminary wash this weekend after the brakes.
