Some car plans...

[wolfwings]

...which are fairly minor really.

As I can: Get some of these for storage purposes. Something to store dirty oil, 20W-20 clean, ATF for the power steering and brake systems, and gear oil for the transmission. This'll be a long-term supplies task. About $200-$400, depending on the number and size of tanks, and if I swap the oil-pump between types or buy seperate pumps for each type of oil.

Get a re-usable oil filter in a year or so. Sure, it'll cost $200 or so, but I already got a re-usable K&N air filter, might as well REALLY piss off the guys that go to change my oil now and make them unable to charge me for any parts. =^.^=

Finish getting the tire-storage unit built for the trunk, so I can hold the pair of full-sized spares in there safely. Most likely a simple threaded-rod with a T at the peak that the existing tire-bolt system can bolt the spare wheels onto. That way it's easy to remove the whole contraption when I rotate my tires. About $20 in parts, total. Maybe $40 to be paranoid.

Before I get the engine rebuilt, get some new 4340 pistons, 4340 rods, and a 4340 crankshaft. Note the sarcasm dripping from this paragraph, and lack of any prices unlike the other paragraphs.

Souncs like you got a lot on your hands in fixing your car. Good luck in buying the supplies and fixing it into one piece.

Thanks. *hugs*

Most of this is pre-emptive or for convenience, oil filters are usually disposable for example and you usually just keep oil in the containers you bought it in, which means a LOT of flimsy little 1-quart bottles banging around in a garage or trunk asking to leak or spill. =^.^=

Yo!

I never heard a word from you after the convention, and it's not because I'm hard to reach. What gives?

Been trying to get hold of you for the last couple days; need you to get up here and pick up the spare rims... they're just sitting in the driveway, and I'd feel bad if they got stolen or Mom gets fed up and throws 'em out. Which she's making noises like she's considering.

Give me a call, left my cell number in each of the voicemails I left you.
