Finally, some pictures!!! (and some non-OT questions)

Just got back from college, first thing i did was clean up the car and take some pictures with my new digital camera. Amazing what
getting back into these cars is like after not driving for a while.

First, it goes like hell (thanks to a new steve w chip, that guy is amazing) and it looks good too (thanks to a repainted targa bar and trim, with special shoutout to Denis (speeder) for his help!)

On to the pics:





and to keep it from being OT:

1. The left-side high beam doesn't work....i suppose i just need to go in there and change out the bulb, how easy is that? and for that matter, how do i know if i have H1 or H4 headlights, etc.

2. From the targa bar respray, there's a little overspray on the rear quarterpanels. Whats the best way to remove the extra spray paint?

3. After adding the chip, the engine smells a little richer and smokes a tiny bit on a cold start. This is normal?

Thanks for all the help this board has given me, this place is invaluable!

For the overspray, try using some clay. Most auto parts stores sell kits that come with clay and lubricant. Keep the area wet with lubricant as you work. I've found clay to be magical when it comes to that kind of stuff. Let us know how it turns out.

Nice car, BTW.

Scott, the clay worked wonders. honestly, i went to my local detailing shop, borrowed some clay-like stuff from him, and no more rough overspray on the fenders! good call on that one.

Any suggestions on the high-beam? i want to get that fixed today. Thanks!
