I am glad that you still got some love for this KBP, next little step I recommended is the clean up the headlight and reseal it. Man something about that blue keep making looking, hell I almost forget that I has one myself

It’s one of the things I hate the most about the exterior of the car. I just didn’t know if I should get an off the shelf headlight restoration kit or learn how to sand it down.

DM me and I will tell you which product to use, don't waste your money on the kit. If you looking into my MRP thread, you will find the before and after picture of the headlight.

I thought today would be a good day to remove the plastidip on the remainder of the grill. Once I realized I would have to take the bumper off so I could remove the grill, I decided to take off the covers off the engine bay to clean.

Now my headache/stress is going up.

Its an old car so thing will naturally goes bad, spend some time for maintained. I had reseal all the top end of the motor, its not hard, just time consuming, things like valve cover gasket, spark plugs gasket and power steering pump, motor mounts always getting busted so I consider it as wear and tear item.

It's therapeutic.
Get the damn hood strut asap though!

I replaced the hood struts and cabin filter on Sunday.

I'll have to get some engine degreaser and clean the engine bay up this weekend. I might order some spark plugs for the fun of it.

you should see how my Red TL used to look before I put some work into it. These car will eventually reach "modern classic" just like the Acura Legend.

Started to put a list of maintenance items to do. The last few weren't really necessary but I added them as last priority. Anything else?

all the fluid is DIY able, IF you have free time don't pay the dealer pricing. As far as upper control arm goes, no need to Skunk 2 unless you are lowered on coil and looking for extra camber.

Sometimes I want to drive this into a wall for all the noises and flaws it has. But when I see it other times, I just to drive it and enjoy it.
