Post what you did to er and maybe even a picture to accompany it.

Today I just washed it and did a quick wax job. It was pretty dirty from about 5 commutes to work!

Careful with the off roading, I took mine mudding and had started to see right less than three months later




Sanded and repainted

I was shocked to see rust, but quick fix and a lot of fun so I'd do it again

Put my second set of brake pads on the front at 155k today.
How does the car run at 155k miles? 2011 I assume? What engine 1.8l auto?

really surprised to see to see that that's all the rust you had for a 2011 in New England. What paint did you use? Did you use a primer or rust converter? I take it no where has as much snow and salt than northeast Ohio because my Cruze is a 2011 as well and it doesn't look as clean as yours on the bottom. That is why I'm so glad I recently relocated down south. No more putting up with that salt crap. Was able to get away with just a dulled black chasis paint on the bottom and some mild surface rust. Maybe what you did will be something I could do since I won't have to be worrying about salt ever again.
Well I was too lol, it had a good amount of surface rust all around that bar and linkage, and she's only go 39k I used VHT roll bar chassis paint, follow the directions lol you don't wanna do it twice like my friend

Under coated it and aside of a tacky consistency it looks really good, spark plugs dipped rims undercoat a fresh wax and engine detail in ready for snow!!

How'd you do that?
I have a lot of tools and spay cans (wd-40, vht, undercoating, etc.) and the wind from this "winter storm" blew some towel of my top shelf behind the car that hit the spray can, I come some hours later to see the can rolling around so I check for damage, I'm relieved it wasn't the trunk lid or fender it hit, would have taken paint and left a dent. Can was mostly full

put in my oil catch can and painted my turbo heatsheild

Very nice I degrease the engine monthly to keep that heat shield clean but I never thought of painting it, what type of paint would be best for heat resistance and did you remove it to paint it? Also do you find with your turbo that the air intake makes a huge difference?

Hey sorry country didn't see this yeah I did remove to paint used high heat caliper paint for the black good for 900 degrees Fahrenheit and 500 degree clear coat both good for motor temps. The three bolts to take that shield off are 8mm and Come off easy and yes the intake does good things not so much a huge power difference but more responsive sounds much better too plus I also have a cat back 2.5 inch straight pipe

So I started it myself I chose a light red cause i thought it would give a pop to an underwood like mine,


Also I smoked my tailights very light

That's Caitlyn, only thing missing from the picture is her white LED headlights and the 10" CompR kicker sub in the trunk

Caitlyn nice name haha and no those are 17x8 07 Jeep Wrangler wheels
That's a cool idea, I've been debating the CAI so I bought a power chip idk how to install, his car has a funky MAI sensor so it's a little guess work

Washed waxed and ready to hit the road !! Also put the heat shield back on after the paint cured
