so not too many updates, got some parts for the saturn, got some put on, and a few more to do (couple parts for the denali also) , got a new fob case for the old key, then got a second new key and had a non fob chipped key made. so now there is no fob to fall apart as a spare that will last.

air filter wasnt too bad, but the cabin filter was more than due, but it was the wrong replacement.

got some batteries , and came with a free tool, so i grabbed a buffer as apparently i laid my corded one wrong over the winter and the pad is quite, ummm not flat. but the extra batteries will help with the rest of the blue lineup i have on hand.

well not been a ton of new stuff going on, but figured i would share what there is.


got some new brakes on the astra, and although the old ones didnt look that bad, it make quite a bit of difference, the new pads bite much better and one of the rear slides was froze up so getting all that working correctly again helped the feel and the parking brake function.

decided to use the buffer also, i used it to put the wax on the car with ( put on with the buffer and by hand to buff back off) you can see the line from being done and not, it pulls the oxidization off. and a couple of the whole car also.

buffed the headlights on the car also and they turned out much better than they had been . ( did it before waxing the car above)



IMG_20210718_171503392_HDR.jpg








so while i had the stuff going i did the headlights on the denali also, they turned out good enough i am thinking about buying the adapter plates to put some mini H1's in there ( i have clear corners for it already just need to get them on. )
