Bought on May 26th 2007.

First Pictures at home, and a few from the ebay ad I orginally found him on.

Painted The muffler flat black. The tip was really gross and rusted, and this hides it a bit I think.

June 3rd, 2007

Removed the Black pinstripping and the dodge emblems on the sides. Still thinking of removing the side moldings, it looks like it will be okay, but I still need to think on that.

Pics:

Tomorrow my boyfriend is going to try to wetsand my headlights for me while im at work.

We also changed out the spark plugs friday and found oil in one of the tubes, so I may be investing in a new valve cover gasket next.

Did you getrid of the volvo?

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 6:21 pm

^yes I sold the volvo and got this. I was tired of the big payment and it didnt get very good gas milage.

The first neon was light almond, this one is cinnamon glaze. I always wanted a CG and when I got the almond one, at first I thought thats what it was, but thats when I learned the difference.

Dude my headlights are effed. I tried wetsanding mine and it didn't really help. wtf.

Oh I had this problem. I did spark plug tube seals (bitch to get old ones out) and valve cover gasket. Fixed it!

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 8:02 pm

^I had the valve cover problem w/ my 2nd neon also, so as soon as I get the time, Im going to be changing out all the VC gaskets and all.

My boyfriend wet sanded the headlights for me and they look alot better, but the clear we had sucks. so we may try sanding one more time and then a different clear. I do plan on getting new ones eventually though.

Before:

After:

I still have not had time to wax it, but hopefully tomorrow or sunday I will.

First and formost, dont clear them.....
Try these steps....
1 - brake fluid wash, soak the lens with brake fluid. Dont let it hit the paint though...wash the lens with the brake fluid, then carefully remove the residue and then wash with a mild detergent to clean them up. How do they look?
2 - If the above did not help, wet sand the lens like you would clear coat on paint, but once all the wet sending is done and the lens is clean move to #3
3 - Buff the lens like paint, BUT be carefull not to stay in one spot for to long, you will heat up the plastic and cause it to warp!
Do not put clear on the lens since it will discolor after awhile and look like s$it....

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 9:15 pm

^I will try that...I plan on getting new ones anyways so Im not too worried. I had a headlight bulb go out last night, so I got some cheap coolblues

for now. I really dont care to spend $60 on bulbs again. FTL

Post by **Canada** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:38 pm

Wow. Jacqui, the CG looks awesome! Now with the Volvo gone you get to mod another hawt Neon, just make sure you don't go so far that you can barely drive it like Beautiful Bruiser.

Jackie...why don't you just get some coons instead of restoring the stockers?

And while you're at it, get these too!
