What did you do to your car today?

(Yesterday)

Tweaked my exhaust piping, had some V-band clamps installed last week and the drivers tip was rubbing up against the frame making a whole bunch of noise so that was corrected.

Cleaned the MAF, IAC and TB. Intake and TB were damp with oil so MuscleMerc's catch can isn't catching it all... I'm pretty sure now I will be closing off the PCV system and doing breathers when I do my new engine.
 
Installed a cold air intake kit on my foxbody. Starting to get stuff done finally since I have the time and will be driving it once my MM motor is getting replaced.
 
Nice car and set up and garage! :beer:

Blue car got some TLC today. Mothers Glass Polish with a 3M headlight restore polish pad to all 8 windows. That was NOT fun but needed. It made a heck of a mess too, but I had to do it. This car had heavy water stains etched in the paint and glass. Everyday I work on this car it looks better and better.

The picture below was the week before hand compounding and polishing the lower sections and around the door edge guard removing hard water stains in the clear.
