Items I tackled/replaced
Pulled her in the garage and took off the hood and grill for easier access.
These were some grimey looking spark plugs!
1st time doing any kind of hands on mechanic work, but this forum is an amazing resource and so helpful, I was able to build up the courage to tackle the job.
12 hrs later, don't judge :becky:, I was done.
Took her for a spin down the highway and she purred like a kitten!
Throttle response was definitely improved, no hesitation.
Took her to the local car wash and pressure washed all the built up oil on the firewall, skid plates, tranny, etc.... clean as a whistle.

Really not a fan of all the green lighting, so all that green had to go! :lightsaber:
The antenna mast was broken and the motor did not work, so I replaced that and the stock head unit too.
Old broken antenna
New antenna
Next up was the dash. Went ahead and ripped apart the dash to change out the bulbs and head unit.
Gross Green
Clean White
All washed up
