I got the Monte insides all cleaned up, windows, dash, carpet, seats, doors,, everything. Hasn't been that clean since last spring.
So, I went out and washed the outside as well, including a quick spin dry.
I changed a bulb. one of the fog lights. Need some more of the big push pins, 3 missing under front bumper.

While I was out there, went to change one of the fog lights on my wife's Grand Prix. The fixture comes out with a Philips screwdriver, from the front. Haven't seen that in years. Went to 2 stores who don't have the right bulb. it needs an 898.

I had a nice afternoon nap, now its Snowing! Again!!

Evening all. Red is all back togethor now with a new cv axle, control arm and sway bar links. Parts+ was about 7 hours, not counting breaks. I had to go to the store three times to get tools and parts. Overall im out around $200 which isnt bad considering I bought a torque wrench, axle nut set and breaker bar along with the parts I needed.
