Today is going to be a beautiful day in Georgis(85*). I plan to wash and detail my Fiero I just got her painted 2 weeks ago. So I need to clean all the dust out and vacuum her. I also discovered a little trick. Using some Acetone. I cleaned my door pannels(I have Tan interior) I was able to pull off 24 years of human funk and my door pannels look brand new.I thought that it would destroy the pannels but instead it cleand them so good I did my whole interior and now just gonns finish and go over it with some Meguiares interior wipes. Have a great day Everyone!

I'm Going to pull it out and take some pictures on my new property that has a forest of trees in fall colors. This is one of the best times of the year to get shots of your car and I have missed it the last few years. Rick B

Install the new heater core, clean the interior, maybe wash the car... Then drive 80 miles to the Mall of America meet at 1PM today. Going to hit almost 80 degrees, and be bright and sunny all day.
Gorgeous day for a drive.

I'm gonna go pick up my new wheels and tires (If I can get there before the place closes) then drop them off with my new EBC Redstuff brake pads I got for it to the shop that's finishing my engine swap. This is the last of the parts so the car should be finished soon now
Might start it and let it run for a while. And order a new clutch master cylinder, which I will hopefully get sometime this week and installed soon after. And hopefully that will solve the clutch issues I'm currently having. But mostly today I get to tear the front of my Mini apart, so I can fix the crank sensor connector.
And if I have time, would like to get this other aero nose cut in half so I can finish up the chin spoiler. And I might try to cut off the boss on the F40-MT2 trans that's in the way of the LS4 starter, so I can work on getting the starter mounted to it as well.

Going to replace the alternator belt, replace a cracked CV boot and maybe re-bleed my back brakes again. And probably discover a dozen little things to fix along the way!

Removing all the spot welds on the panel that holds the battery tray. It was severely rusted and the battery was being held up by a 2x4. I have a donor car that I will be removing the panel from and graft it to my new car, fun. I had to drop the coolant pipe to get to several spot welds. The coolant pipe had to come out anyway because it was crushed, more like pinch.

I got new tires. The other ones sit flat in a parking lot for 8 years. I didn't think the car could ever ride that smooth. Wow! Got it on the highway for the first time as well. It was nice.

I got an easy day. I only have to DRIVE it!! After 3 years most of the issues are finally worked out. Kinda feels wierd just using the car for what I built it for and not working on it.
