Nice journal. Reminds me of some of the ones on m3forum.net

I use cQuartz, which is a ceramic coating like your Opticoat, only made for DIY'ers. I'd prefer to have the detail shop do it, but I haven't found one in Vegas that is any good yet (haven't looked that hard either...).

Do some reading on the rear ball joint replacement, especially if you are going to replace the integral link at the same time (I don't know why you wouldn't...). It can be a bit tricky to do. Don't try to kluge together a tool to pull those ball joints. You want one made for the job as they can be really, really tight in there.

Nice looking X! Keep up the great work.
