Not really a today but this has all been done over the last few weeks:

First i finally got to fixing my front bumper after I went in the ditch this winter

i know its ghetto but its only temporary and looks better than the duct tape which will lead me to my next step.

So i bought some goo gone to remove the duct tape residue and on the bottle i noticed that it says it removes brake dust,

these were my rims before hand kind of hard to see but, there was brake dust caked in the edges, i used a toothbrush and the goo gone and now my rims look like this

they dont look great but i think its good enough to the point where i can plastidip them now,

then after i got done with that i washed it

Did it yesterday, but installed a new 3-row radiator and larger heat-exchanger for my intercooler. Running much cooler now, which means i'm not losing power to the heat.

I've been meaning to ask you...how has the motor been running ever since it locked up? I know the dealer got it running again but have you had any issues since then?

No problems at all since then. Fucking weird, man. Just another one of this car's gremlins I guess.
