I did get most of my projects done over the weekend. I did my oil change, rebuild OMP, fix door jamb switch, took apart and cleaned dash switches, and fixed wiper/washer switch. Rebuilding the OMP fixed my slight oil leak sl I'm happy about that.

I still need to install radio antenna booster. This is planned for next weekend.

And how did the stairs go?

Glad you got some more work done on the car. Did any of that make a noticable difference in how it runs (mostly OMP I guess)?

The stairs didn't happen because I was sick from saturday evening on.

No change in the way the car runs.

The antenna booster is installed. I also pulled and cleaned the power window switches.

It looks like I may be getting my car finished sooner than I had originally planned. And when I say finished, I mean completely finished. I'm hoping to start hitting the car shows this year hard.

The list of what I'll be getting done:
-rust and dent repair, front subframe tweeked, paint.
-new seals, emblems, decals, etc
-wheels refinished
-drivers seat repaired
-carpets redyed
-high flow cat
-throwout bearing

I'm hoping to have it all done by late spring.

I ordered the Bönez Performance Converter System over the weekend. I will be getting that and the throwout bearing done while the car is at the shop on the lift. I'll be doing the install myself.

I'm going to the shop tonight to go over the project. He will be doing the full assessment of the car today. I plan to start ordering the seals and emblems in the next few days. I want to see what he thinks I will need first.

I will post progress pics as soon as I have some.
