So about 1 hour of work left? I know you already started that process? j/k ! Good luck getting it done by Friday. Is this a concour's type event or just a show?

**Neothin** · 07-04-2006, 08:16 PM

it's hot import nights. it's just a regular ol' car show. i'm not brave enough to enter a concours event!

I'm going for best paint (unlikely considering it's stock paint) and best mild scion (which could possibly happen)

I still have all of that left to do unfortunately. I never got around to starting this afternoon.... tommorow i'll start.

so ya, i didn't win squat. I lost to another tC, a white tC, with HORRIBLE swirl marks, an i'll fitting body kit, and a system that wouldn't even turn on. Ah well, such is life.

If it helps, your car is a winner with all of us. I'm pretty sure everyone on this board will agree with me!

Neothin - I like the nesting wash buckets. Have been working on a similar homemade alternative to grit guard. What size holes did you perforate the upper bucket with? I have a set of spade bits at work and am thinking about 3/4".
