    Replaced one of the upper ball joint. Did not bother to pull the UCA to clean it. Probably should have pulled and cleaned it. Not a hard job to change them. Grind off the 4 heads of the rivet nuts, top side. Use Allen cap 6 mm screws with locking nuts on top.

    Well, not today but in the last few.
    I decided that I'd rather let my car tech fix my A/C. (I provided the R-12).
    40$ and 26 oz. of freon later, I've got COLD air again.

    I have a few more 12oz. cans on the way but, I've got an option on getting a 30 lb. one. I plan on staying, (if possible), with R-12. (If you could get a 30 lb. can, would you)?

    Based upon reading other threads I bought some leather conditioner from Leatherique.com. I applied it today.

    My Optima Red-Top finally died in a fit of hissing and not holding charge. So I've replaced it with a UK Spec battery and cut the battery cables to remove the side terminals and add clamps instead.

    Now I just need to level out the padding in the battery compartment so the new battery fits a bit better...

    The quality of Optima batteries declined significantly when Johnson Controls purchased the company and relocated the manufacturing facilities to Mexico.

    -Drove the car 2 miles from storage to home.
    -Removed all the foam from the parcel shelf & bulkhead area (still not sure what to replace it with.)
    -Completed fitting, drilling & tapping the reinforcement flat stock for my louvre repair (ready for resin!)
    -Had a friend/DeLorean/BTTF fan visit so he could see a DeLorean for the first time in person.
    -Washed the car, Scotchbrite the hood, used the stainless cleaner Josh recommended (water-based, I like it.)
    -Drove around the block.
    -Sat in the car & reveled in the awesomeness.

    Pulled my inner seals to remove about a 1/4 inch of headliner fabric on both left and right sides that was wicking up water and giving me a shower inside. Learned about the power of wicking the hard way during the NorCal club drive a couple weekends ago where we got caught in the rain for half the day.

    Here is the offending material sticking out from the seal before removing it (same amount was on passenger's side):

    Which cleaner did he recommend? And which Scotchbrite pad did you use?
