Cool Resting on my laurels...for now...(little long)

Since I've purchased my car I've also purchased about a $100 of basic tools and supplies. Jobs completed:
repaired monovalve
replaced glow plugs
replaced pre and main fuel filters
replaced air cleaner
replaced window regulator and door handle
replaced tailgate shocks
changed oil & filter
replaced front dash speakers
removed gearshift cover, cleaned all window switch connections, cleaned out PRNDL and replaced bulb
replaced dash bulbs, bypassing potentiometer
using my 12v cell phone charge adapter and some ingenuity I've bypassed the cigarette lighter, buried the bulk of the adapter in the ash tray and simply have the cord to the cell phone trailing out underneath the ash tray.
The car is running great- next step is to wash down the injectors with some diesel purge.
Most of this stuff is routine for you experts but a real accomplishment for me as I'm relatively new to wrenching. It's been a satisfying experience and it's nice to work on something which is of such quality that it always go backs together the way you took it apart (if you're careful, that is)
