i did remove the black shrouds and i also removed the condensors/radiators or whatever was in front of the other. There was a lot of crap in between that i cleaned out. I used the hose to get most out and then i used a wide thick bristled paintbrush to sweep out the stuff i couldn't get with the hose.

There was some yellow paint on the black shrouds, so i painted the openings with flat black paint. It actually looks much cleaner now.

Good idea on the mesh, and ouch on the bird.

That has to be a bird strike test or a tornado. Notice both seats are dirty, it doesn't look likeanyone was seated in either seat when that happened.

Just changed the oil, buttoned up the front bumper and replaced the trim buttons in the front trunk that were missing.

Replaced some rear wheelwell plastic. I dropped off the 2 rear rims at the shop to see what they can do to refinish or exchange out.

The next project before the winter ends is to replace the aos and fllush the coolant.
