I'm taking a two month holiday from work this winter. New years in Costa Rica followed by a solid month of wrenching. I'll either love or hate that car by the time I'm done.

To do:
  • Front end (control arms, ball joints, suspension check, etc.)
  • Motor, tranny mounts
  • Driveshaft mount
  • Rear axle off and rebuild
  • All fuel delivery from filter back through tank replaced and/or cleaned
  • Plumb up veggie oil lines underneath car and install mini-tank in engine compartment.
  • inspect/replace rubber brake components
  • install under-hood CO2 system (4x9Oz tanks or some such)
  • Install in-dash Boost / Voltage / 5 point temp cluster (mini-tank, coolant. oil, turbo, exhaust), likely in the cig lighter with a rolling digital readout.
How's that for fun.
