Tightened my belt, topped the oil and other leaky fluids...discovered that I may shortly need a new radiator. Oh well.

Check your brake lines. The rubber ones. You can have a bulge.

popped in a wood trim control bezel I found at the JY. Started busting rust on a 99 8.25 I'm swapping in on Saturday. Got two coats of undercoat and two coats of engine enamel so for, put in my new seals, painted both diff covers, painted some chevy 1500 shackles im putting in and cut off lower shock mount bolts, drilled through with a 5/8 bit. I'm going to use some 5/8 by 4 inch stainless steel screws for lower shock mounts.
