Starting to sound like you're proud of missing bfest... I thought we already had a discussion like that on the Facebook group.

Well clutch slave was as easier than I thought but the starter decided to stop working, installed a new one tonight

Felt good driving it for an entire hour afterwards without replacing parts

Looks like you didn't put the autoclave in the "to go" stack. Is that what that is over there in the corner?

Yes that is an autoclave... I've been slated to fix it from my wife's school but she brought it home in the thick of me building my engine... never mind that we don't have ANY 120v 20amp outlets in the house so I had to rewire a section of the garage to have that support... Except it is right next to my parts cleaner and needless to say I've needed that more than being able to use it as a shelf to work on the autoclave. Maybe in July I'll look at it... LOL

I think I'm going to put the headliner on hold; don't want to rush through it and have it look like ass.

Still left:
Oil change
Detail exterior/interior (washing completed last night)
Install Euro headlights
Brace front lip
Pack axle with grease.

And I'm supposed to do all this tonight after work; with having to work late too. Not to mention the issues my wife is having getting ready... ugh.

Oh the strange things you see in someone's garage. There is always a good reason, still floors me though. Lets just say I had a job that took me through many garages.
Man I bet that parts cleaner has paid for it's self by now! Damn, is there anything you can't fix?

Ok no more off topic talk. :)
