Now, I'm well under that in town (my (the nuts) foot has gotten heavier)

Failed on what I was thinking about, but did do a few super cool things to the car (mostly NVH related)

Failed on that, but I did run the hoses under the carpet, and mount the heat exchanger in my new to me climatronic unit (not yet installed).

Full timing belt + tensioners + water pump + injection pump seals + glow plugs + torque everything I could find + everything else I cold think of job done.

Full 6 speed swap with PD150 clutch + DMF + new Engine mounts + new boots + seals + ASR job done.

Man, I did great this year.
