I’m hopefully picking up a diff next weekend. Most of my stuff is waiting for me back east (hydro e, lines, new DPFE sensor, etc) because I don’t want to install it yet.

I have door seals, two oil filters, radio antenna, fog lights, bimini top, headlight wiring upgrade kit, and deck cover.

I have a box of spare Miata parts: head light bulbs, plastic fasteners, my spare mint-condition Nardi knob, and softtop/hardtop latches.

Yes, a speedometer cable, a door lock solenoid, a skidplate I’m in the middle of fabricobbling, and a bunch more parts I haven’t ordered yet.

Yep. At any given time, I probably have at least 3-4 parts sitting on a shelf waiting to be installed. This spring I’ve actually made a surprising amount of progress on some of my longer-term projects, though. It’s weird.

It’s May and it looks like it’s going down to just above freezing temps AGAIN this evening. Couple that with nothing but rain for the past month or so means I have parts upon parts to put in the cars.....

Things to do

—Mustang :

Oil change

Power steering fluid flush

—Cougar:

Change driver side door lock actuator. AGAIN.

Pull dash cluster and replace back light so I can read the speedometer at night.

Swap in new reverse light bulb on passenger side.

Change transmission fluid.

Swap in Master cylinder for ‘93 Mustang Cobra. The one I currently have isn’t exactly a great match for the upgraded brakes on the car. Too spongy on the pedal feel for my tastes.

—Lincoln:

New mufflers and tailpipes after the catalytic converters. They were replaced previously with sub-par stuff. Time to put some nice Borlas and 2.5" pipes on there.

I just did four window run channels, an AC compressor, and trap yesterday. Felt so good.

Yep, I have parts piling up for three of our four cars and more that I’m waiting to get ordered until these get installed.

Wife’s Subaru:

Front pads and rotors: they didn’t ship till after I had already gotten and installed the ones for the rear

Front struts

I need to get a new bolt for the he alternator. I had to get one from the hardware store when the old one snapped and the head is larger so I’m worried it may rub on the belt

My Silverado:

I need to replace the evap canister which in my case is in a place that’s going to be a pain in the butt

The lower radiator hose has a pinhole leak. I’m going to replace both and flush the coolant.

I have a new transmission filter and need to get fluid.

I need to replace the rear drums and the front brakes including the calipers.

One of my front airbag sensors is bad. Going to order one and just guess. If the light stays on I’ll switch it to the other side.

Outback: Wilwood Brakes, Front Struts, Top Hats, Group N Engine Mounts, Group N Transmission mount, Timing Belt Kit

Jetta: Dieselgeek Short throw shifter

I’m sure there’s a few other things too.

For the past 9-10 months I have had the back seat and trunk of my civic full of all the parts to turbo it. As of yesterday I finally have the turbo installed and running! I can’t wait for my visit to the tuner this weekend! The boost is so close that I can feel it.

I mean, I have a pile of broken car parts. A couple buckets full of used metal parts and a small pile of things that don’t fit in a bucket that I’ll take to the dump one day when they weigh enough for scrap money.
