thanks, I'm getting ready to move out of my parents house now (great time to buy a new car ) so it's going to have to sit on the back burner for now, once I'm all settled in and know what my budget is I'll start getting it daily driveable

Did an oil change on Ezippy3.0 yesterday. Cleaned up the interior some. Then took him for a nice 100 mile sprint. we love this car!

BTW, it's Eric's birthday today too.

Replaced my headliner last night. Feels good to ride with the windows down again.

gave Maxamillion an oil change checked the air pressure in the tires and
put some black goop on the oil pan to slow the leak down until i can get it in the garage to put the new pan on.. doesn't look like an easy task.. thanks to a brother in law with a shop with a lift and the proper tools and jacks

did that on the green ti today, I used duct tape and a zip-tie

fixed an issue where the hood wouldn't close straight making the latch get stuck, somehow one of the brackets that hold the top of the hood struts was bent and hitting the fender

tracked the coolant leak to the back of the engine where I can't see it, good thing I know what failure-prone part is back there

Claybar and exterior wax; wheel wax on the wheels. This paint still glows after 16 years!

washed the new ti, probably the first time that car's been washed in years

swapped the crusty, faded headlights with a nicer extra pair I had

the battery was shot so I put the battery from my track car in it, in the spring I'll pick up a Miata battery and relocate it to the trunk in the track car

bonus picture of the mold on my passenger a-pillar and headliner I think I'm just going to pull the headliner out and toss it in the dumpster at work, it's not really worth saving at this point
