I put my oem hard top on for the first time in a while. The top transforms the car. Quiet. Warm. Its been chilly here lately. Makes for a nice warm drive on my winding road route to work. Also, put on clear side markers the other day. Soon I will pull the valve cover and adjust the valves and replace the spark plugs. I am dreading that project. Don't want to mess it up and I don't want to end up with any gasket leaks when I put it all back together again. It will be fun in the end and it will give me some peace of mind about the condition of my valves. As it is I am fearful that I may be doing mortal damage to the head every time I drive. I just have to get up the gumption to dive in.

Put my battery tender back on as car hasn't been driven since April 15th and by looks of the forecast here it may be awhile longer.

Purchased the car last fall, but now that we are driving it more, it was time to baseline the fluids (there were limited records with the car other than oil changes) and correct a couple of things:
  • Oil change
  • Manual transmission fluid change
  • Rear differential fluid change
  • Radiator flush (car only has 76k miles, but not sure when it was done last)
  • Brake fluid flush
  • Replace blower motor (very noisy...cleaning it did not fix it...I think it was because the cabin air filter was rarely changed)
  • Fix cruise control
  • Finally, my son and I detailed the car
Not cheap, but makes me much more comfortable with the car as my wife starts using it as a daily.
