nice, this is exactly what im looking to do soon here... i hate not being able to see anything in the back of my car...
rickshaw,
The additional dome light is the one mod that I have been really itching to do. It's so darn dark back there, and with tinted windows at night it's like looking into a black hole. Thanks for posting the pictures and the parts numbers.
On a separate note; I've seen your pictures, and heard stories from others about how clean your VX is. What I want to know is how the heck you keep the under carriage so clean? The thing looks like it just rolled off the show room floor. Everything is painted black (without a scratch) and the bolts are all still shiney and gold colored. Heck, even if you never drive it in the rain, just normal road dirt would get up in there. Very impressive.
hey mark, im gonna be doing this when i get back from moab...if you wanna get together we could have an "additional dome light party" ;)Quote:

Im a bit intimidated by the amount of dirty and, more importantly, rusty stuff under there. Same question goes to the engine compartment. Did you steam clean it, degrease it, or just use a lot of elbow grease?

Basic 409 and scrub brush.
For greasy spots and getting off the old factory undercoat wax I used
White Lightning Clean Streak Dry Degreaser (bicycle chain cleaner)
Because I had it laying around. I found it doesn't dull the paint like Gunk did.
Yes, I waxed underneath the VX.
Meguiar’s NXT Generation Tech Wax (Liquid)
This is good wax for this since it leaves no white residue.
I figure it makes it harder for the dirt and grease to stick.
I haven't repainted anything yet. There is very little rust maybe because it's been garaged.
