      New battery: Autocraft Gold 49H8. Tight fit but worth the 900 CCA.

        Removed windshield wiper arms, air vents under windshield and mirrors. And painted them. Also painted on 3 coats of POR15 paint after doing the treatments yesterday.

                  Cut up a nice front subframe for some reason, and found a box big enough to ship the ends and an oilpan...

                    Grinding for XP >.<

                    Using an old piston to square up the rings in the bore so I can gap them properly... such a tedious process but must be done.

                      Fixed my right turn signal. Both bulbs worked, but flashed double-speed. The ground wire had pulled out of the front right turn signal connector...

                      Also recently got a pair of front mud flaps... Wired a 12" JBL from goodwill in a few days ago. Been sanding the shit out of my Pfeba spoiler. Soon.

                        Changed the diff fluid using Mobil1 75-90 synthetic LS fluid, no more whine. Changed the oil from Mobil1 15w50 to Mobil1 10w40 for the winter. Topped off the transmission with Royal Purple 75w140. Still need to flush brakes, bleed, and figure out why the pedal is soft.

                          Is there a huge difference in the oil performance with different weights?
