Want more steel rims.
Grumpy: Headed to a local JY looking to grab an ABS sensor. Found a couple good donor vans, but forgot to bring a 3/8" hex to remove the calipers. Ended up collecting stock lug nut so I can mount the wagon wheel center caps. Need one more for a set of 20. Brought another wagon wheel center cap home, held it up to the second gen steel rims (mock mags) looks pretty good. Might have to collect another set of lugs/caps.
Green: Removed the other front hub and cleaned/de-greased everything.

two trips to two Dr appts 45min away mon/tues in the 99.. ran great.. still have that hum from the front right at hwy speed and the annoying wind whistle from the pass side mirror.
took the 93 to the wrecker and only had time to scoop a rear weather striping for the 99. looked for winter wheels, no complete 4 matches.. LOL .. almost forgot, grabbed a blower motor resistor for the 93 out of a 94, hope it's a match :-k

Swapped the really old looking battery in my 2000 for a newer more powerful one i put in my girlfriend's car last year.
Fooled with the power door lock solenoid for the rear doors on the 95. It's working better but not great yet.

Started Princess this morning and notice the start sounded weak ... about 1 hour ago trying to start up and come home she was weak. Got a jumpstart and home now. Shaking my battery invoice in my hand right now and cursing "I should have known!!!" basically for some reason every 2 years my batteries die ... date of purchase on current battery, November 22nd 2007. Previous was November xx 2005 and 2003 was in December though.
If she dont start tomorrow morning it is battery because I changed the alternator just last December.

replaced the last heater hose...replaced the iac valve, since the electrical connector kept crumbling apart...installed the horns and installed the doghouse, hopefully for a good long time! took the instrument cluster out to see what wiring will need repairing, as the wires to the headlight and dimmer switch look like they've been real hot and melted before...the previous owner had tapped wires in there too...the fun never ends...
