I assume that the cluster must have been serviced at some point.

Finally got around to a little bit of detailing:
1) Compounded the paint with clyde’s Rupes 2) Tried Solutions Finish Trim Restore on the not-so-black plastic. We’ll see how durable it is, but it sure makes the plastic look good. 3) Compounded the rear glass to take out the water etching.

Before the detail job, it also got a new windshield.

Since we are stuck at home, I’m getting to a couple items that have been on my to-do list…
New radiator, as it still has the original. Somehow, the PO replaced the hoses, expansion tank, thermostat, water pump, and even the dan and fan clutch in 2018, but left the radiator??? While I’m in there, it’s easy to get to the oil filter housing gasket, so I’m tackling that too. Based on the amount of oil on the side of the block, the OFHG was in worse shape than I though. (Ignore the puddles below - those are from pulling the housing.) It looks like my new headlight lenses are arriving in the next couple days. So I should probably start pulling the front bumper….
