    Help! Plastic over paint

    TRUTH...The factory covers as minimal of an area needed to protect that part of the rocker so they won't have to do warranty paint work.

    Help! Plastic over paint

    If you have some aged material on the car, you can park it in the sun, slowly and gradually pull it off. If you take it slow all of the adhesive will come with it. This is what you WILL find after a successful removal. The paint under the film is fallout, contaminant free and will look better...

    Help! Plastic over paint

    Help! Plastic over paint

    There are many theories about film on paint and no film. Here is some truth that is often overlooked. Todays paint is applied with fewer coats than cars of old. Todays paint is also an environment friendly paint that can absorb bug acid faster than older cars. Dull bug stains will never come...

After deciding on how I really want to drive the car, I found a high temp DOT4 fluid, rebuilt the calipers and thankfully, the pistons were...

    Brake booster

    In my past life brakes were my forte. There is a vacuum pressure guage that you can use to test the booster. You may be able to rent it from a local autoparts store. Also you can look on line for your model car's brake specs for booster pressure. If you are unsure of what to do...take it to a...
