Started to take of the original tail lights and rear garnish.
Discovered that while in Japan someone thought it was a good idea to goop abunch of some sort of clauking in behind the tail light foam gaskets.
Its probably 15+years old, as its gotten all hard. One more thing to undo from some bone head.
Plus I am replacing the actual tail lights, as they also thought if they drilled small holes in the lenses that the mositure
( which I am guessing they did this in the first place ) would drain out.
Started to clean it all up and temporarily installed the new/old lenses and fog light garnish, so I could fine sand the plastics and polish them up better than orginal.
So I have polished the hatch and will need to repaint those lower corner trim pieces around the window glass that are polished stainless.
They never seem to stay painted , as every car I have seen has the paint flaked off of it.
I also have now sanded out the lenses and garnish , plus polished them back up.
Hoping this weekend to have the upper spoiler re-installed.. Wooo!!
