Want to up my game...

Well, here I am. Thought I was pretty damn good, then I came here, and now I feel like a third world citizen, and wondering just howmuch damage I`ve done to my vehicles.



So, I`ve joined to learn and ask questions to get better at this, and hopefully become for real pretty damn good





And now I`m back to searching the forums. Chao!

Let`s see some fotos of the damage.



Welcome aboard, Steve !!

Fortunately, I did take pics of the before, as well as some during wash so I could chronicle my improvements. They are on the camera right now which the fiance has, will definitely get them uploaded in some sort of diary thread I`ll be starting this weekend.





Big thanks to those that were in chat tonight, David, ls2drew, AndrewBigA, highrev, and anyone else that gave insight that I may have forgotten.



/ETA: The photos would be of my current project, a 2003 Ford Taurus that sat for two years, and the previous five years it was driven was not taken care of at all. I mean oil like peanut butter, just trashed by people who don`t know how to take care of anything...themselves, their home, their vehicles, their animals, ANYTHING. Its a sad sad state for what is a really great car. Only 60k miles on it. Has the 24Valve DOHC engine in it, which is great as long as you arent working on it!



Anywho, pics to come in the following days.

Sounds like that Taurus would be a great rehab thread. Take lots of good before & after shots. Welcome to Autopia btw...
