well not today, but last week
installed new(to me) tires/rims
rolled fenders 2x, because the first time around the tires still rubbed
changed to 24f battery as my stock battery started acting up

Yesterday changed tranny fluid. Other than f*cking engine shroud it was smooth.

In the future when I think it's a good idea to install gauges just remind me of this picture. Kthxbai.

yes the entire Gen1 dash had to come out just to be able to get at that one screwQuote:

the round vent itself. I broke the end tab that holds one of the fins in and also broke the brace that connects the two fins togetherQuote:

they're abotu $25 on ebay. Probably a good price i guess, but it seems high to me. maybe i'm just cheap
I probably have a free one?
got both front and rear endlinks replaced. so much better.
Now to deal with the rear bushing issue thats slowly getting worse.
@FD22 came over, we both changed our oil, then i reduced the camber on my rears, then put in braided ss brake lines, but just in the rear. I was having trouble getting the lines off the caliper (flare nut wouldn't fit with the caliper assembled, so i had to take it off the rotor) by the time i finished it was too dark so i'll do the fronts another day. it can sit since I've got my work truck
Got bored, TiAL back to VTA, SilverDemon block off plates back in, checked FMIC piping. Still have to check the side motor mounts and a few other odds and ends.
There's nothing like taking panels off and finding loose screws.....................
