Replaced a broken battery terminal connection and put in a scary amount of oil and water. Also put a diplomatic piece of cardboard underneath to catch leaks
Life begins at 80 and ends shortly after in a temporary court on the side of the road.

Made a set of white reflectors for Christn. Much the same way I did for Lady.

Shane, they don't look at all the same as the original ones. They are simply about the same size.
I've taken photos and will post the story on my site. Will let you know when it's done.

Re: What did you do on your car today?
got metal pipe that goes from reservoir to the master and bleed brakes. Really helps if there is a second pair of feet around. Had to do it on my own. Tonight another romantic night without power.

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Today I cut new top-front door panels for Christn. I ran out of hard-board so I could not do the rest. But then I turned my attention to the parcel try. Striped it and started sanding it down.

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Did an oil change on Lady this morning. I swear she smiled at me when I was done noting how much better I've become at it since doing my first one about a year ago.

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Dropped off Christn's gearbox at HR's, then came home to put Lady's repaired right rear wheel back where it belongs. The spare wheel is also back where it belongs.
Then I left Lady wide open in the sun so she can get rid of some of the trapped moisture in her.
