Bought a new fuel filter, ngk plugs, oil filter, installed new plugs, filled the tank. Doing the oil change tomorrow, along with changing the fuel filter. It was raining like mad today so I had to change my spark plugs in the car wash bay. Cause I don't have access to a garage. I got her done though. :bigthumb:

Well, my 240 did something for me. Does that count?

2 weeks ago, I finally got it back on the streets. It had been parked for almost a year. Well, summertime in Texas is HOT! Especially without A/C. It was working before I parked it so I was a little dumbfounded when it didn't work. I would turn it on, the idle would raise (like it should) but the clutch never engaged. I did a little rooting around today with it to find out the problem. I found out that I had power to the coil. My prognosis? New compressor (can't just get a clutch now a days). Tonight, after work, I drove around, in the rain, to the parts stores shopping for compressors. On my way home, the windshield started to fog up. I turned the fan on and selected defrost to get air across the windshield. I noticed the air was a little chilly. Definitely too cold even for a rainy evening. I selected the face vents and sure enough the air was cold. I got back home and immediately raised the hood. Low and behold the damn thing is working.

My car fixed itself for me so I wouldn't have to spend $250 for a new compressor.

I painted my front and rear wiper arms, painted the front air dam brake vents, took off my rust sponge, picked up a fiberglass kit, and chipped/sanded/scraped the rust off last night, got an alignment and balance today, and should be ordering a new bmr exhaust tomorrow to replace my rusted out stock system. not to bad for only having the car for four days now i think.

Fixed my mothereffin speedo wooooooooooo, so nice to have the HUD working now, hopefully this will help sell the car. Turns out the capacitor wasn't bad, it was that whole little circuit board that you have to take off when disassembling the speedo unit. I replaced the capacitor and the unit wouldn't light up at all, after soldering and resoldering all day i finally starting swapping parts with another spare I had and when I swapped out that little circuit board and BAM working diggy speedo
