Picked this up and figured I may aswell do a worklog to keep track of the
crap I do to it. 1994 Blue GS loaded with everything the car came with
less the heated seats. Has 189750 km's on it and im changing the timing
belt, water pump and upper gaskets. Also did the fuel filter and have never
seen such clean intake valves and air filter( 15k old)
Got the interior cleaned out and the engine reassembled, it ran for about 10 minutes before
backfiring in a blaze of belt slipped glory. I'll have to get another hydraulic tensioner and do
the timing again... At least this time I can leave most of the crap on to re time it.
Ha Ha nice to hear you can laugh about it. That's one very clean unit, you lucked in. I use to live up by Sidney, I love Van Is. So keep us up on your progress and of course,,,MORE PICS.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Well, it looks like it has had good fuel run through it. Cleaned those ports and valves right up

Yeah those ports were ridiculous clean, not sure what kind of gas
was being used.
Brake dust is horrible to clean off rims, but I found a neat product at
the local auto parts store for just the job. The before and after are about
3 minutes apart with some minimal agitation with a toothbrush:

Also did the headlights with some lens restorer, ive done it with plastic polish and
a dremel before - this stuff is the way to go. Took all of 5 minutes for both headlights:
definitely going to try and find some of that auto glym here in calgary, stuff looks like it works really well, lookin good so far man! cant say i would have done the trim in black myself, but, that's just my personal thing stemming from when i used to sell suits... "never mix black and navy!"
the headlight cleaner you used, do you just apply and buff by hand or did you use a polisher?

I really like the undercoating on the front lip and flaps, looks great with the Blue. Now you just need Euro mini sides to match and complete the look.
They collect dust differently, and will discolour over time. Don't try to spray clearcoat over them, the asphalt content in the rocker guard releases something that yellows and cracks the clear.
