this tied me up all day yesterday. this is my friend and customer Ed from Seminole. Ed owns a beautiful 98 Toreador red on Lt. Graphite LSC with 86k on it. Ed was having a clunk in the front so he brought it down and dropped it off and this was my saturday.

look at the front pads, never saw this in my life, 3 out of 4 of the pads seperated, i took the calipers off and the pads fell out but the backer plates stayed on the caliper bracket, unreal lol!!!

after the suspension i changed the fuel filter, ait filter, spark plugs and did an oil change with Mobil 1. He asked if i could clean the motor and compartment and make it look new again, i think i did ok!!!

thanks Ed always a pleasure!

Nice Detail Jamie. I won't be rude and ask what you use, but if you'd like to say I'd be interested in hearing.

I use tire foam on black plastics. It looks that good, but I would like something less greasy. It's not too greasy, but if that's what you're using you know what I mean. ..such a thing, something non greasy, probably doesn't exist.

dude thats some funny :q:q:q:q right there!!! i used armorall tire foam on it i swear to god. i cleaned it with simple green, rinsed it, blew it all down with the air hose and used the tire foam. it is too greasy i know exactly what you mean. it did look awesome compared to the before, but what i normally use that has the ultimate perfect finish is this...

this stuff kicks ass, looks like brand new, without the wet slippery nasty look, specially killer on black interiors. and it smells awesome.

 

[THEMOJOMAN]

That really looks CHOICE,,MAN!! I love that RED

 

[Lownslowlsc]

[cadillackman]

[BAD97LSC]

when was the last time those brakes pads were changed?

 

[Sal329]

Great job Jamie. I was finally goin to install the front uppers, lowers and sway bar links Saturday at work but it was last day of the month and we were crazy. Some day I will get them installed

 

[BAD97LSC]

when was the last time those brakes pads were changed?

my guess is never, 86k miles most likely they were original.

 

[jrherald420]

Im still rocking the factory rotors at 109xxx miles!!!! LOL My factory pads did the samething when i changed them at 85,xxx miles.

 

[kustomizingkid]

Looks like fun Jamie!

My Vic is at 197k on OEM rotors, they outlasted the 4R70w Getting close to time to replace them though.

Job well done, the front end is really tight man!!

Thanks Jamie!!!
Job well done, the front end is really tight and the ride snug and quiet,
drives surprisingly straight, can't wait until I have the mark aligned, I wonder
how long can I go without the alignment, seriously thinking about some new rubber all around, I need to wait for the tax check to arrive.
Regardless,,,,thanks a bunch, no doubt driving up to you to have you work
on the mark is well worth the time and committment required.
Later
Ed
