Wow we have a nice winter storm here. We've had unseasonably warm weather until the day after tomorrow when we hit the deep freeze after all this snow falls.

So far I've replaced both upper control arms in the front and the lower ball joints. Pretty easy so far. I've been doing the replacements in bites of spare time as I can't take the car off the road for more than a portion of a weekend. Next is the upper control arms in the back which look easy enough to do, then a front bearing. Then the big project of the clutch. It would have been nice to do all this in a single operation though.

Eric the Car Guy has been helping me through.

The Marinco plug has held up fine in minor freezing weather, now it will get a real test. I'm wondering how that soft rubber like flap will withstand the ice.
