    I replaced my idler and tensioner pulleys, radiator hoses, bled the coolant system, flushed my power steering system, replaced my crush washers, and bled power steering system. After I finished went to take the car for a test drive and the power steering pump is groaning. And I also broke my radiator drain plug.

        Installed some used tires from work. Got in a car with some 195/60/14 tires with almost like new tread. Glad to get rid of the tall ass 205/70/14 tires that was on it.

                  Recovered my stock shift knob. This is my first try at, think it came out pretty good. I got some glue on it, but I got it off after pics.

                    Not a bad job at all. Good job.

                      I think next time I will use a smaller leather punch and larger thread. The stock knob comes without exposed stitches but I like the way it felt with a the raised stitches. Offered up a healthy dose of instant gratification! Definitely grabbing another one to practice on. Now, I'm addicted!

                                Installed a go really fast button. Race cars have them and they go fast. Makes sense.
