              Had a small leak coming from my valve cover. So today I changed the gasket, and when I opened her up i saw this...






              To me it doesn't look too healthy...What do you guys think?

                Not hard at all, and it makes such a difference on the look of the interior. I'll have pics of it installed soon.

                Easy steps even for an idiot like me:
                -Remove the back seat, ass part first, then back. Back is held down by two bolts on the sides. Once two bolts are removed, slide the back UP and out.
                -Disconnect the third brake light.
                -Shimmy the lid off a little bit so you can reach under and disconnect the speaker wires. You can remove the lid with the speakers still intact.
                -Unbolt the seatbelts so you can pull them through the deck.
                -You should be able to pull the lid out now. Once it's out of the car you can remove the vents, speakers and middle seatbelt holder

                I got some fabric spray from a crafts store. Make sure it's fabric spray, any kind should do. Don't lay it on too thick as it'll get all hard n shit.

                      Over the course of three days, I replaced my brake booster. Fucking pain in the ass! I was not working on it constantly. The first day was really only 3 hours, two of which were diagnosing weather I had a vacuum leak in the booster hose, and the third getting the booster free from the fire wall and realizing that it would not come out of the engine very easily. I slept on it and came back the next afternoon to continue working. Got the booster out, put the new booster in and started putting the brake system back together. On the third day I spent about an hour checking my install and bleeding the lines.

                      If anyone is interested I am selling the old booster as a brake booster delete kit. :p

                        Stripped apart the top end preparing for a head gasket replacement while on the phone with fedex to find where the damn gasket kit was delivered to, only to find out hours later, it was delivered to my neighbors house.

                        While i was waiting, i put my roof rack basket back together in preparation for a camping trip and the drive to burning man.

                        ended the night with the head off and ready to clean everything up and put it all back together tomorrow.

                          Washed the car.

                          Then, neighbors turned the sprinklers on it.

                            Replaced a wheel bearing the other night.

                            This is what i did to the inner race.

                            I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                              Washed it for the first time. The engine bay is going to take a lot of cleaning. :(
