I have the following on the 924s

Rear hub bearings

Repack front bearings and new seals

Replace front A arm bushings

Change rims and tires back to my summer set.

Relocate the Accusump

Oil Change

Install sender on the accusump and install new VDO OP gauge.

On the Expedition

New shocks

New ABS sensor in the rear

New axle seals

New E Brake Pads

If I get all this done I will celebrate and get me a a bottle of Glenfiddich 21 Year Old as I will have saved about 10x this by doing all this instead of have a mechanic do it.

See I can justify anything LOL.

It's garage cleaning weekend for me. The floor is currently a big pile of salt, and I need to get it washed up.

If the warm weather holds, next week will be the back brakes and maybe diff on the jeep.

Getting an inspection sticker for the non-turbo FC so I can drive it while the MS3 is in the body shop. I will also be taking photos of the non-turbo FC to prep it for sale after that is done.

I need to check the wiring on the Mazdaspeed3's horn, since it cuts out sometimes. I will be going to the body shop to schedule an appointment to get the dent in my MS3's door and fender fixed. If I can make it to HMS in time, I may pick up some Motul 75W-30 for the MS3, since some MS3 owners on the Mazda3 forum I go to have reported synchro wear with the Ford Motorcraft fluid I am using. I don't have any problems yet, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

For the most part, though, I will be boxing up all of my spare parts, cleaners, etc. and putting them into storage. I will be moving soon so that takes precedence over car-stuff.

We've got another major snowstorm wander through, depending on how that goes I might not be able to do much with the cars.

So far the plan is:

  • Wire up the electric choke on the Celica properly and then tune the carb once it warmed up right. Oh, and do stuff like valve clearances etc, all of which are supposed to be set hot.
  • Throw the tuneup kit at the CJ7, weather permitting.
  • Exchange more emails with the guy who's trying to sell an X1/9

I have an XC race in a month an a half... so I'm planning ride tomorrow... afterward, I'll make an attempt at replacing the EFI harness in the classic Volvo.

Maybe on Sunday, I'll do more than glance at the BMW for a change...

Wiper rack/motor, plus the driver window regulator in the Saab, then see if I can get some touchup paint mixed locally... the wife has been a bit, err, inattentive to her parking this winter. Change over to the summer wheels and tires on that one.

The SX4 gets a new RRM 4-1 header, the Tahoe need a new rear bumper, inspection, and is leaking brake fluid badly from somewhere invisible, and the Alfa has an oil leak onto the rear exhaust manifold and a completely flat left rear tire..

E36 M3, when the hell do I get to work on the racecar?!?

If I'm feeling PARTICULARLY ambitious, I'll do the snow tire changeover on my wife's Fit and my Civic.

Do I feel like doing 8 tire (wheel) changes tomorrow? We'll see...
