What did you do to your car this weekend?

Post by LeSabre in Buffalo »

Like the title says....

I replaced a bunch of marker lights, the center stop light bulb, the high beam bulbs, and touched up the polish job on the headlights. And checked the oil while underneath the hood. Ahh, feels good to be legal again!

And fixed your cowl, put your on your strut caps, a/c caps, and schreider valve cap :beerchug:

I myself finished the interior on the tan 01 in the garage. Now I just have to figure out the cold start issue.

Oh, yeah, that too, LOL. Thanks again Andrew!

Hilarious story about the strut caps, one was somehow underneath one of the parts that connects the cowl cover to the sheetmetal, so when we were trying to put a pin in there to attach it, it wouldn't go through, and there was water standing in there, LOL. We then stole the other from the green car to match, LOL.

Gutted my airbox, put a drop in K&N filter in, PCV valve, fuel filter, checked plugs and wires (they looked surprisingly good), and oil change. It sounds like a happier engine now. :bwoohoo:

1) Inspected my oil and coolant for signs of one getting into the other. (I still have my original LIM and UIM gaskets, and car used Dexcool until two weeks ago.) Looks okay for now... The green coolant looks a little orange-ish in the overflow bottle though, with a darker green layer on top. Will keep a close eye on that.

2) Ordered new tires at Costco: Bridgestone Turanza w/Serenity Technology. They will be in next week, just in time for Thanksgiving.
