Default Warm weather = cleaning!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/21806/springclean2006_013.jpg"></center><p>Since yesterday went soooo well and with the weather here in the mid 60's it was a good day to do some cleaning on the 4ktq. I originally planned on doing the entire car (wash, wax, interior clean), but it took me a long time to clean the interior and spruce up the engine bay a tad.
I usually spend an hour on the interior, but it depends on how much crap is in the cubby hole and stuff. I took the extra time as always to clean the pedals too . Also tried to stuff and hide the vac lines for the boost gauge.
With the interior done and not much time left before I had to leave, I did some very minor things under the hood. Call me crazy, but I love to see clean resevoirs. I cleaned all 4 of those and some other stuff. I also had a problem with the drivers side hood latch coming loose at high speeds. After a quick inspection of the rod on the drivers side, I rigged up a simple solution for now. The rod goes along side a piece of metal, but you can move the rod. When I would move the rod to the right (the only way it can move), the bar where the hood striker hits moves out so that it will catch. I had to find a small piece of metal to keep the bar there. A small screw did the job. Im sure I'll adjust it properly at some point, this is a temp fix.

So thats my postwhoring of the day, and me trying to be artsy with the camera again. Supposed to get more ****ty weather this week, bah.

Enjoy!

Default Clean Reserviors?

Surely you aren't talking about draining them, and cleaning them? You're just wiping down the outside, right?
