Bought the car in Feb. '13. Finally got around to cleaning the headlights up. Did one headlight last night... variations of matt spots, scratches, dullness, etc... going to do other side tonight. Never cleaned/polished headlights before. Just took my time and just let the abrasives do the work. Went slow.
Wet sanded w/ 2000, 3000, and 5000 grit sand paper w/ foam block. Then polished.
Before (driver side example):
After (passenger side, this was alot worse than driver's side for some reason):

New project for me:
-45' L x 11' wide (tandem garage)
Will be cleaning thoroughly and painting walls and adding more lighting. Possibly will build and mount tire racks on back wall for (8) winter wheels/tires. The water damage in the rear corner was from a faulty down spout which I have corrected.
Garage will only be used to house the vehicles, vehicle related items, tool box, and push mower. There is a 25'x13' workshop in the basement for any other typical "garage" needs (fabricating, lawn/garden tools, general storage, etc...)
Test fit of vehicles (numerous items in garage that will not be there long term):

Now find a non-drilled trunk and get rid of those holes!

I changed my rear endlinks to MOOG units last night... geez those things are just about as thick as the sway bar itself (I have a TL unit as well). Awesome that they have jerk fitting so they can be regulary greased. Really heavy duty design... tremendous qlty

pretty warm last weekend, 60 degrees, washed the cars and summer wheel setups in the garage. it was raining all day though
changed the oil and MTF on Sunday and also trimmed the engine cover under the car, it was warped from heat

Haha... thanks fellas. Appreciate it
have been hearing creaking noises from the clutch pedal, just installed a new cmc a few weeks ago so I knew it had to be the bracket
my buddy welded the seams. fixed it. a lot more sturdy with less deflection. the entire pedal throw is more smooth
