Slapped in the new seat hinge cover/belt guide for the drivers seat, that I got in the mail today. I had one on before but the mounting holes were cracked a bit so it kinda sat sideways.
Cut the front coils on the race car one coil, put the rear suspension back on so we could get it off the hoist to get the Roadster in to get it ready for the Starbird show next week. Too many other things today I can't even remember.
Finally got around to replacing the oil pressure switch with the correct one for w/ gauge application. It's nice to have a working oil pressure guage once again.
------------------ Dealing with failure is easy: work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: you've solved the wrong problem, work hard to improve.
Today I slathered bondo over the fiberglass that I put over the decklid cut outs to clear the blower (post intercooler install mod). tomorrow I plan on sanding, smoothing, and prepping for paint.
72* today. I changed oil and filter, and fixed a broken key cylinder. Man, those are a b***h to get out. Not complicated, but there is no wiggle room for someone with fat hands like me.
painted the block, heads and intake on my 4.3L. Removed fiero harness from car and brought inside to start the wiring project. Ordered haynes fiero manual off eBay because the chilton i have isn't worth crap (no wiring diagrams? what?). Updated website.
Washed my 88 CJB and installed five recessed 100 watt lights in the ceiling of my garage. When I step out at night and hit the switch it's like the "Garaj Mahal".

Beautiful!
I played with my very ugly looking (compared to Fie Ro's) engine swap by treating the surface rust on the cradle and taking the control arms off the junk yard rear suspension parts. It's a B**** taking the arms off a 20-year old knuckle when it is not still connected to the car! Leverage is at a premium!
It's still good therapy, though. I didn't have to drive in any DC traffic today. Life's little victories
with some help (thank you randy!) i got the flywheel mounted and the clutch mounted. ordered a new throwout bearing tonight so hopefully soon the trans will be mounted. one step closer!
