this evening's blue metro tasks: fixed the broken driver's side window lift mechanism & outside door handle; drilled & tapped a new bolt hole for the control arm rear attatchment bracket (i twisted the head off one when doing the swap); waxed 2 more panels.

just about all that's left to do before submitting the car for inspection is check the rear brakes, splice some neoprene into a seeping gas line & patch 2 small holes in the floor. and swap the blackfly's wheels over (blue car's tires are shot).

then it's motorectomy, part II: ICE-out!
