3 years ago and it looks like complete shit. Eventually Im going to get it redone if I keep it long enough because I hate the way it looks. Runs, overspray, dry spots (molding down), fucked up looking clear, etc. I got fucked with no lube on the paint and bodywork. ---

Adjusted the throttle cable. Way too much freeplay. Honda says at the max 1/2 an inch. It was a bit over that:rofl. I had never done the job before, and the car was at like 2k after I turned it on the first time and let it sit:lol. 3rd time was a charm though. Only a little bit of slack and next to no dead space with accelerator travel like before. Still waiting on my new mounts to arrive though… ---

I don’t know how some of you guys are able to do it. Nights/Weekends. I do it over time, sitting in my garage anyways. Mentally you have to prepare yourself though, because it take s a ton of patience and I have major OCD/perfectionist issues… ask Wayne. LOL Everything is in the prep work for detailing, not many understand that. Too many people just rush through a detail, not correct anything and just toss some wax on their car and hope the swirls/scratches go away. It’s also the reason I don’t take on a lot of clients because some details take 10-20hours and most people don’t want to pay for that kind of work. ---
