Haven't done anything with the car today, but I did manage to wreck my wallet. Have just purchased a new CAT, muffler heat shield, WUR, fuel tank shield, muffler bracket, new gaskets, o-rings, washers, bolts, clutch slave bleeder adapter, complete tune up kit (cap, plugs, wires, O2 sensor, belts, fuel filter) and a pile of other stuff too.

Sounds like you're in for some fun!Originally Posted by rundmc
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Removed the rear fascia closing plate to paint it nice and black like the rest of the engine bay.
I'm also going to install a second courtesy light back there so I can see better at night.

Put my washer bottle back in. Hate that job. I was considering leaving the bottle out since I never use it anyway. I don't even fill the bottle. But that would leave an open hole in the trunk.
My washer bottle cap is also cracked so can't put it on tight.

I feel your pain. My cap isn't cracked, but it won't go on tight. It will just jump the threads and start over.

Dropped the D off several days ago, picking her up tonight. Full engine service and also hopefully the transmission leak fixed and serviced.
Can't wait!

Took some of my own advice and re-booted the CV joint that was flinging grease. Used one of Hervey's cable ties and thin layer of RTV over it. Won't know if it's sealed until my new steering shaft comes in though. Can't wait...
