Thumbs up Mound Website *UPDATED* (well, thru 7-26-03)

The Mound is back together but doesn't run, as some of ya'll know...I've been busy, went to Brazil, etc, but I'm ready to get it going again. I did update the webpage with the most recent photos I have.

Take a look

Right on.

good job! I love how it came out in the engine bay. What did you use for degreaser? And did you use a pressure-washer or a regular garden hose to wash it down?

I washed the passenger side using simple green, toothbrushes and rags. And water. No hose washing there.

For the drivers side I got lazy. I used some GUNK engine degreaser for the really nasty stuff, and washed it with a standard garden hose nozzle. It worked fine. I tried to go easy on the GUNK cause it's nasty stuff, and I'm not a super tree hugging hippie but I do live in Austin and try to be as eco-friendly as possible.

Now to get it running...

Right on.

I thought about taking it out, but for whatever reason I left it in situ. I think it was too difficult for me to remove it, or I got lazy. It might still be leaking, I think I found a loose hose clamp that was causing the leak, but I might have to replace it down the line.

PM away with any more questions.

Right on.
