Full Day's Job Ahead..( Re-vamping the Max.. )

Decided to post a work-log of my re-vamp for my max....got a few projects i plan to complete this weekend...

Before i start, if anyone lives in jersey, and wants to help, i'll gladly fill your gas tank for the drive plus buy lunch :-D:

:The Re-vamp List:
Clean My Tb

Clean my Iac Valves

Complete BLACK interior project ( everything black inside.....Everything... )

small blue led's in door handles

Replace my oil with Castrol Gtx 10w 30

NGK copper spark plugs

New oil filter

Seafoam ( brake lines, fuel system )

Find some black weatherstripping at a local junkyard or cheap store..

Dynamat....my WHOLE CAR ( involves removing the seats, carpet trunk lining ) thank god i have a connect at bestbuy so the dynamat will only total at $150 :-D ....

Securing my sub's ( right now they move around in the trunk...frickin gorund wire disconnects...I HATE RE-BUYING FUSES...more-so i hate having to pull over..turn off my car....re-connect the ground...replace the fuse..then drive......did it for months..now im sick....

Sanding the headlights with 600, 1000, 2000 grit ( wet-sanding ) and buffing with scratchx ( i want them crystal clear again!!!! )


Is there anythign i should do at the same time...this will be a project i'll be doing by myself unless someone in jersey likes a full gas tank and lunch :-D....

I don't know if it is worth it, especially when you have to do the whole roof housing. I rather cut another maxima's roof off and weld it back on to yours but that is just a Lazy 18 year old thinking here. That is a lot of money down the drain for that, go for something else like performance with that kind of money. So lets just say it is not worth it.

i could be 1.5 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile with the money you'd use for the sunroof thing.

sunroofs are way over-rated and not worth it unless your gonna give this car to your children in the future :P Too much money would be lost on a so-so mod....just my 2 cents.
