been busy the last week or so.

Installed the new plugs, cap rotor and spark plug wires.  last weekend.  The old stuff was pretty worn out.  getting to the back 2 spark plugs on the passenger side was quite the chore.

This weekend was an oil change with Royal Purple and a new Magnaflow exhaust system.  I got a pretty good deal on a system.  Hopefully I'll get to the fuel filter and thermostat today.  Picked up a new trans pan gasket and filter as well, but I dont think I'll get to that today.

The exhaust went on pretty smooth.  Only hiccup is the clamp on the muffler.  Doesn't quite cinch down tight enough for some reason.  I can still rotate the muffler with very little pressure.  Might have to stop at a muffler shop and have em just weld it for me.  Sounds awesome though.

The more I work on the car the more I want an air compressor.  Its just so hard to figure out what I need vs. what I'd like to do.  I'd love to start doing my own body work, but the sander and Paint gun require so much much more than other air tools.....

Weather has help up pretty good.  could of taken the car out yesterday if I didnt have it apart....  Might get some rain today but another couple days of 60's...  Not bad for October.  Only a matter of time before the weather turns though.

Quick update.  Found a hood on craigslist.  Wrong color, but its straight and rust free.  installed with the the help of my brother and some of his buddies.  Looks much better, but we did notice the nose is pushed in a lot more than I thought.  The plastic around the headlights on the passenger side is also busted.  so that's gotta go on the list as well.

Picked up a new Distributor cap and rotor, plug wires, some Bosch Platinum plugs, and a pair of Fram "Airhog" filters as well....  So I should be able to get it all tuned up this weekend.

I think I need to start making some lists.  Prioritize the things that need to get done vs. the things I want to do.

I guess this is as good a place as any.

Making the car look nice is the number one priority right now since it runs really good.

Cosmetic/Functional:
Hood(Dented) (picked one up used and my brother and friend helped me put it on.  Its gold right now.. Oh well)
Carpet(Many stains and very dirty)
Arm Rests(Bulging and separated.  Found a set already)
Radio Trim Ring(Cracked)
Power Window Motors(Passenger side is almost dead, Driver side is very slow)
Driver seat (worn through in one spot.  Seems impossible to find one seat cover though, so low priority)
Convertible Top
Convertible top latching system.
Rear weatherseal for Convertible top
Trunk Weatherseal
Several body dings and scrapes need to be addressed before the big expense....
Paint.

Engine Performance/Cleanup:
Distributor cap cover is missing
Need to remove A/C Unit (Broken. add AC Delete Pulley)
need to remove other non essentials
Remove 9th Cold Start Injector
Full Exhaust System.
General Tune Up. (Cap, Rotor, Plugs and Wires) (Picked this stuff up today as well.) 
Reprogram ECU(Custom EPROM)

Well..  thats about all I can think of for now.......  I'm sure more will come up soon though.

Dropped the top today for the first time....   These are going to be the "fun" parts to find from what I understand.  The lever that pops the back of the top off the tonneau cover... Gone...  the whole assembly is gone...  great...  the button on the center console that pops the tonneau up to drop the top into the trunk.. It doesn't work either...

Oh well..  It is pretty easy to manually do it...  but I gotta start looking for those things.

I did find a set of arm rests over at Third gen.  Good price on em.  so I wont have bulging arm rests much longer.

Time permitting, I'm going to start the big cleanup tomorrow.  Garage is getting clear.. Or at least clear enough to get the car in for the winter.....
