Over nearly the last month, I've done a good bit to the 90 Grand Marquis Wagon.

> Replaced Air Filter
> Oil & Filter Change
> Near Complete Fuel Line & Vent Line Change (save for a section that was already replaced)
> Replaced Fuel Filter
> 3 Brake Lines Replaced
> Brake Hose Replaced
> Rear Wheel Cylinders Replaced (Drum Brakes)

A few days ago, I had the car running on its own fuel.

Today, I cleaned the Tires, Turbine Wheels, & Center Caps. I did an OK job, but not as good as I'd like (though I was low on time.) It already was a long enough job to get brake dust & road grime off the turbine wheels, and now I found that the front wheel bearings are starting to go; both sides are leaking grease, but the Driver one's much worse than the Passenger one, which isn't much. Because of the grease leaks, cleaning the center caps took much longer.

Now, the tires are laying on their backs, so they can soak up some tire gel overnight.
