painted rear fenders because they were scratched, starting to rust, and looking crappy. Soooo..... now they look like crap that's been poorly painted over.

Today I changed my fuel filter. I think it was the original from 96. I also done a full tune up. I also think it still had all original parts on it by the way the plugs looked. The electrodes were almost gone and gauged at .065. Then I topped off all the fluids and shot some grease in all the zerks. Think it's now ready to wheel tomorrow. Yay!!!

Then today, I took off my radiator grill, wet sanded then scrubbed that down and primed and painted that black as well. Next month I'll be replacing the rear shocks. So far, in my opinion, it doesn't look to bad.

I bought them black from 4 wheel parts, and the iso's are rubber and they stop the ring from knocking on the bumper. They come in black, red, blue and yellow.

Paint a light coat of blue over the yellows.

Or you can get some green hose and cut it to fit.
