Because he's a perv.

She is a bit dusty. I've sealed the concrete, have an air filter running 24-7, and put sheet plastic over all the insulation batts behind the pegboard, and still all this dust.

Suggestions on helping keep dust down would be greatly appreciated.

As far as the car goes, why not get a light car cover for it?

You will have some dust no matter what. The only way to really cut it down. Is to do like paint shops do. Filtered air, double set of doors.

Paint the Z white. lol I had a black prelude and that thing was a dust magnet. Even the current Platinum Gray will have alot of dust a day after washing.
I guess the best thing to keep the dust off is driving it

Exhaust is off. Going to need to get the polisher out before it goes back on. The Y pipe is going back to my welder to have the slip joint welded and shave the counter weight brackets so it's easier to wrap. TP and Y are both getting wrapped and HT coated.

Heat shield and body braces are off too. My twice smashed W brace needs a little TLC and a coat of paint or undercoating.

Fluids are out of it too. Taking a break while the clutch line drips dry. Drive shaft is next then the shifter. Might get to the pedal and cmc later today too depending on how much my honey do list grows. Planning to drop the trans next weekend as long as the trans jack adapter gets delivered. Aiming to have it back on the ground by the end of June.

Ordered up some Motylgear 75w85 I've been running oem and it's been ok but looses the new fluid feel pretty quick so I'm trying something different.

I used Rustoleum High Heat black paint to touch up the rusted parts of my W brace, seems to be holding up.

I really should find a new W brace. Mine got bashed to chit by concrete chunk on the way down to zdayz last year.

I have a heavier car cover but I can't help but feel that it mars the paint ever so slightly when it's on. Maybe if they made one purely out of South Korean microfiber and unicorn hair... I'm considering using sheet plastic and making sort of a open-sided tent over the Z.

Hmm.. I could go the full satellite assembly room positive airflow route... but if I wore a Tyvek suit then Bunk would be disappointed when he does his usual 300% zoom on my crotch reflection...

Don't you have a "spare" W brace parked under your lift?

I munched mine the first time on the way to the dragon. Stopped for the night in KY, caught an underground tank cap at a gas station that stuck up higher than I thought. Smashed the brace into the exhaust so we had a nice rattle and extra drone from the 2 touching the entire trip.
