Another what would YOU fix first thread!

Ok, so I'm going down the list on Lovey and little by little I'm getting things done. So... just for fun put in order what you would do first. (It is in no order in my list)

1) Valve Adjustment
2) Finish Reworking Vacuum system
3) Rear hatch piston suppots
4) Sunroof issue(s)(?) -- have the dreaded leak by the top of the passenger side A pillar... (could be drain stub issues -- found this in a search) <--- Just found out about this TODAY!
5) Rear driver side axle inner/outer boot (just going to replace whole axle)
6) Glow Plug rework (started doing this already) (got rid of STUPID green wire PO setup... and returning things back to the way they SHOULD be
7) Tinker with rear suspension to make it "Right" -- drops after a while of car being off.

I'll stop here since these are the only things I have written down at this time.

Pete

This is how I'd prioritize them and why:

1) Rear driver side axle - this could leave you stranded, depending on how bad it is
2) Valve Adjustment - gotta keep the engien happy
3) Glow Plug rework - same as above
4) Sunroof issue - RUST!!!
5) Finish Reworking Vacuum system - Could eventually affect braking, but otherwise not really critical
6) Tinker with rear suspension to make it "Right" - probably expensive and not terribly critical...yet, at least
7) Rear hatch piston suppots - annoying, but that's it

Just my thoughts

I think you can forget about number 7. Your suspension is a combination of spring and the self leveling system.. I think they all go down some when off... then when you turn the engine on they start figuring out what they need to do to be level....
