I'll have pics soon. These last few weeks have been hell. Finals, CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam), CSTs...oh god. And fixing grades.

Have a huge assignment due tomorrow...oral presentation sore throat...

On a more positive note I scored 408 on my CAHSEE which I believe is Advanced.

360 - passing
380 - proficient
400 - advanced

I'm pretty sure.

I will have pics tomorrow or so.

Looks good, most engines out there are just caked in black.

For a second there I thought that was a logo printed on the wheel, nice cover, looks slick!

Yeah I know what you mean. You should see my dad's engine...just a grease cake with a screwdriver here and there...lol, silly mechanic.

Yes it looks great and also is nice and fat...gives a great and comfortable grip.

I've scheduled my drivers test for May 26 at 9:30 A.M.

I didnt take before pictures but here is what I did and the after pictures.

-lightly spray engine compartment with a hose.
-spray on some fantastic scrub with a brush on the heavy deposits and a rag for the rest.
-gently spray off with a hose.
-this is where you need to be careful as you do not want to get water inside anything you dont want it to. I gently blow with 40lbs of hp air any of the water then wipe with a rag.
-last but not least I sprey on armor all and wipe with a clean rag.

Here are pics of both the Astro and Suburban finished product. Oh and each took less than 30 mins to do.
Burban has 115000 km on it when I cleaned it the first time.



Astro has 206000 km when I cleaned it the first time.
