Actually i did this yesterday:
1. took the dealer emblem off the trunklid (after owning the car for almost a year)
2. took her through the automatic car wash after getting all the adhesive off from the dealer emblem
3. had to re-wash it with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge when i got home b/c the stupid automatic car wash in my town sucks
4. put 1/3 quart of oil in
5. dug out a huge mouse nest located under the battery, on top of the transaxle (lil bastards)

Drove it around this morning with a new-found joy after the major improvements from the front-end suspension work/wheel bearing replacement job last week.

Later this week it goes into the shop again for major cooling system overhaul: new rad, new coolant pipes, new heater hoses, new thermostat housing and thermostat.

Also getting the A/C fixed at the same time.

Today i put in my modern projectors, took out my washer fluid resevoir, fixed my exhaust leak, gave her a good waxing, cleaned the stain on my drivers seat, cleaned the engine bay, took her to work, then to school, then back home.

Paul56 · Post by **Paul56** » Tue May 05, 2009 11:56 am

It is in the shop until tomorrow while getting the cooling system refurbished and the A/C working again.

Those items above are the last major items on my "Neon TO DO" list as below:

-1 spark plug tube consistently & slowly rising
-install new spark plugs
-replace rear wheel bearings (no noise, doing this proactively given the mileage))
-install new headlamps when they arrive from Modern
-exhaust rattle while in reverse
-clean driver's side carpet... ugh winter stains
-touchup spots on paint
-wash 'n wax

EDIT: The buzzer sounded off for the door just as I hit "submit" for this post... it was Canada Post with my new headlamps from Modern! Wheee! I love getting packages delivered right to the door.

mopar4life · Post by **mopar4life** » Tue May 05, 2009 9:11 pm

Painted this little guy Chrysler Industrial Red (best engine color EVAR!)

My engine bay, Im thinking of paintin the engine coolant one red also and maybe the oil cap. Hell I might do my valve cover too later. I need a injector cover.

Also drove it to school and back (all 2 miles woot) checked the oil and parked it in the shop for the tear down tomorrow. Ill get pics.

Since I didn't get to drive the bitch today, I stared at her in the yard for a good couple of minutes to make her feel pretty.

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Wed May 06, 2009 4:28 pm

washed the dirty biotch so shes presentable for passt house lol

Paul56 · Post by **Paul56** » Fri May 08, 2009 3:02 pm

I got it back from the shop today where I had...

Radiator, thermostat, thermostat housing, upper & lower rad hoses, heater pipes, heater hose, transmission cooler lines and of course coolant all replaced.

The old radiator looks a little tired after 8 years on the go but it was not leaking... yet.

I also had the A/C fixed. Cool air inside the Neon... finally after 2 years.

A bonus... the mechanic had the intake off to get the coolant pipes replaced and did this mod for me while everything was apart:

viewtopic.php?t=7263

When I first opened the hood I was thinking WTF... something is missing here... until closer inspection.

If the weather holds I will be installing my new headlamps from Modern over the weekend. Purchased GE NightHawk bulbs for them today.

I should start a progress log... but it will be mostly boring stuff like regular maintenance and this type of stuff above.

drove back from passt after doing a dope burn out to warm the tires up for a 4 hour drive home at 1230am=D!

Painting my exterior b and c pillars black

Medan · Post by **Medan** » Fri May 08, 2009 9:54 pm

Drove 50 miles round trip to/from work. Drove about 20 miles up and down the mountain because it was nice today.

Remembered I need to start thinking about replacing my timing belt and water pump. Contemplated repainting my valve cover (did a test paint to see how it would turn out, turns out it was way too bright of a blue)

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Fri May 08, 2009 9:57 pm

gave it a bath.it needed one from driving it to college back and forth to home everyday it gets dirty.

Post by **racer12306** » Fri May 08, 2009 10:02 pm

This was yesterday but,

I changed the oil and pulled out the plugs in the lower ball joints and replaced them with zerks. I also drained my catch can. What a PITMFA that was.
