My son goes off to college soon and I gave him my old gal here. Its a 94 and she's only got around 36,000 miles on her.



The paint was in bad shape.....lots of tree sperm and bird crap and all kind of nasty biological crap.

I used simple green and elbow grease and brushes........and toothbrushes to get in the itty bitty places......then I rinsed it and then used off the shelf engine degreaser.......waited about 2 heinikens and hosed it off with a shower stream.....then a blowjob with the leafblower



and some water based non greasy dressing safe for rubber......
 
Looks good! How do you have a 94 truck with only 36k on it?!



OT: With that K&N intake, why does it still have the stock intake facing forward? Wouldnt you just take all that off of did you just leave it?

I have company vehicles I drive the hell out of and save my personal ones. I replace our Chevy astrovan that was 10 years old with the tahoe.....the van had 38999 on the clock. I gave it to my parents.
 
Ray in Kingwood- I really love makeovers of real *drivers* :xyxthumbs Thanks for sharing this with us, it looks great.



I'd get some Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and some of their specialty paints do do some of those underhood bits. I did that on some of my beater projects and was astounded how well it worked.
