What did you do to your 2002 today !

[its55]

Completed my rear brakes project except for the bleeding.  That RR beotch spring lived up to its name but eventually succumb to my rather bizarre but effected clamp/wood/screwdriver method 🤣  Gotta use what you have sometimes.

Took apart the entire window mechanism as my window was hard to close and the winder would click three times before reaching its max closed position. I found some brainiac had greased both channels and the grease had hardened to make the travel very compromised. Cleaned and reassembled everything, only slightly better and still clicking. And the window won't stay in its highest position (slides down slowly about an inch). Ponied up for a NOS winder and will install when it arrives, hopefully in time for The Vintage.

Got Gretchen back yesterday after a 5 speed conversion. I felt like a Rockstar on the freeway and I could actually hear the radio. 75mph 3200rpm

Installed the rebuilt drive shaft this weekend. New guibo too. Had to raise the tranny with two washers under the rubber mount, above the tranny support. Also had to lower the center bearing by one washer each side to get close to perfect alignment at the guibo. Hmmm. Surprised it took this much, given it’s an original car and this is the first drive shaft. 
 

Oil change + filter. New valve cover gasket. Test drive amongst start of Fall proved it’s good to go. Next on the list:

- radiator upgrade (original in the car and she runs warm on the freeway)

- sort out the blinker gremlins

What sort of radiator upgrade are you considering?

Completed the brake work!  Next on the list is a cooling system flush / inspection.  Before that, however, I need to move change some fluids on my M3.

Primered the rear tail light housing, then painted the outward facing part white. 

 

then worked on the dash board ashtray

 

 

Then repainted the back patio table for my better half. "I didn't spend the whole day working  on the 2002..."

 

 

 

And apparently the back patio as well

Thanks.  I'm about to begin a complete cooling system condition check, flush, fill, etc.  If it still appears that I'm running a little hot next summer I'll consider something like this.

Interior work done for the most part on the 1971  02.

 

Plenty of wet sanding and polishing among other things. Getting there.

dropped $15 on a “kool vue” ‘cause nothing too good for my ghetto girl. fits well enough after some minor dremel work, but won’t be surprised to leave it behind on next drive.

Installed a wireless navigation system to help me find the way to the beach (West) and the mountains (East).

I need all the help I can get these days...

My Dad had one of those on his boat. Leaving a knife next to it made for an interesting trip one day.
