Factory motor? Those things are rare, congratulations on having one of the most bitchin' boats on the face of the planet. No object that large should be allowed to move that fast!
The 280z 
- Pulling the motor and tranny from the Z. Then pulling the head off of the 280zx turbo motor and installing the head gasket. Bolting up the 5-speed, and getting it in. Then I just have to wait for my 300zx turbo ECU, harness, and injectors and get those installed. Hopefully it will be running by mid-June.
Work all day Sat, pushing hours for the week up over 80 to expand the car repair budget. Fluid changes and tire rotation on the Forester Sunday.
Next weekend is more eventful, as said Forester is taking SWMBO and the kids to NY for three days WITHOUT ME, resulting in my first weekend alone in 6 years! New oil pan and brakes all around/rear disc swap on the Impreza, woohoo!
Fitting my light bar on my 97 Outback. Two Hella 700FF's and two Bosch fogs with 100W bulbs.
Still packing to move. I did a minor bit of knuckle-busting yesterday with finally mounting up my new O.Z. wheels to my Speed3 and reattaching a mudflap I tore off by accident when I backed up into a curb (d'oh!).
finishing up a coworkers car... head gaskets on a 3.8 firebird. oh what fun
Steering rack on our 4Runner. Been putting it off for a couple of weeks.
Brake pads and fluid flush in the LS400. Also think the EGR pipe has a crack so maybe removing that and having it brazed. Shampoo the interior and possible wash/clay/polish/wax. Maybe throw some wheels on it and take pics for fun.
LED interior boards on a friend's Camry.
Sell some stuff on Craigs hopefully.
I just busted my knuckles on an unexpected waterpump replacement on my BMW.
It was ony 40,000 miles old.. and on the way to work this morning, started making aweful noises.. when I got to work I could grab the pulley and shake it.. so I called the local Import parts dealer (40dollars less than the BMW dealer and had the pump in stock instead of having to wait till monday.
On the way there, it let go.. locking up and shredding the belt less than a mile from the parts place. Had to replace th pump in their parking lot.. and then drive to Lowes to replace some of the m6 bolts that got muffed up when the pump jammed at an odd angle.
Struts, shocks, front and rear rotors and pads on my girlfriend's Mazda3s.
Yard and housework on Saturday, woo dammit hoo. Also on Saturday: the ex has door lock issues with the Accord, she hates my hobby but when her E36 M3 needs fixin', guess who she calls.... 
Sunday, rebuild a DCOE on a buddy's Spitfire, might be able to squeeze in a little quality time on the Jensen's exhaust. Monday, hopefully nothin'. 
Sometime soon I have to yank the motor back out of the street tracker to fix that damn head gasket oil leak.
Provided my car doesn't break, nothing. :D
Destination:
sat am son has a ball game. sat aft help mudda in law move. sat night hit the movies with wife and son.. sun put pt deck on my trailer and a tool box. and weld some angle on the ramp.. monday a whole lotta nuttin..
My stuff: general fixing up the Karmann Ghia and maybe finally getting it inspected. S4 needs more suspension adjustment, driveway alignment, and some brake bleeding. Friends S4 is getting a new clutch in another friends garage. Then its time to float in the lake with the kayaks and beer.
hoping I get to start work on removing the engine from my WRX...
Hopefully finishing up on the Protege. New upper strut mounts all around, new front lower control arms, replacing the Racing Beat springs with Eibachs, timing belt, and water pump.
Time to get this in the water this weekend, so it means buffing the hull inside and out, wiping down the bottom with laquer thinner, and then re-painting the bare spots.
I also need to put the trailer hitch on my Dad's 2011 Sienna so that we have something to tow it with.
Lawn, garden, and hopefully some time for the MGTD.
Hopefully, I will find a few spare hours this weekend to work on "The Atomic Hairball"...
Fortunately, over the last two weekends, I've found enough time to assemble this...
To this...
And place it here so it's out of my way...
My plan for the weekend is to at least get new radiator/fan setup installed, along with plumbing the oil cooler. If time permits, I'd like to get the intercooler mounted and plumbed.
After that, it's just installing the new exhaust, double-checking the wiring, and then grabbing the fire extinguisher!!!

That is one of my dreams, alone for a weekend, its been about 7 years for me. Enjoy.
Replacing the coolant flange leak on the A4. Everything that I've read so far says this will be a nightmare of a job

I have to say, of the many options I have in mind for the single day alone I'm not working, "do absolutely nothing" seems dominant.
Finding the two missing bolts to the lower timing belt cover. And making a tool to be able to torque the crank bolt. Doing absolutely nothing seems attractive though.
