- Did internal door adjustments on the driver's side to fix an intermittent lock/unlock issue. I have the Lockzilla keyless system and when pressing the unlock button sometimes the driver's side wouldn't fully unlock. It works great now, hopefully for forever.
- I had disconnected my passenger side window switch since I bought the car because using it would cause the window to come off its track. Finally got around to fixing this today so I can use both power windows now. Not only was the window off both the front and rear track but whichever PO installed the window regulators neglected to fasten a couple of the bolts to the inside of the door, it was being held in by one bolt and could be moved around easily by hand. This is probably what caused the window to come off the tracks in the first place.

Ordered a set of black SS braided fuel lines from DPI because of renewed fears of my original lines failing and causing a fire. I personally prefer the black lines to the others available.
Installed a brand new 3-core radiator after my stock had sprung a leak. Speaking of which, do I scrap the original rad or is there a market for them?
Took the time to actually tighten down my front fascia. It was pretty loose but now its not going anywhere (except hopefully a paint shop soonish). I also adjusted the hood release cable. Now it's really nice and tight.
