Mine sat parked in a friends garage while I was out of town... :-\

started on my side skirts

Today I started installing an air horn on my '88 Escort, but wasn't able to finish it because I didn't have the wire to do the electrical and didn't want to drive a 30 mile round trip to get it since I am going to be in town tomorrow anyway. Next time someone blows at me because I'm driving to slow to suit them I'll just give them a blast of air.

Sweet! I wanted to do this to my response car when I ran volunteer fire/EMS -- sure beats the electronic horn that comes with the siren.

Keep us posted on this one -- sounds interesting

I re-shaped my Plexiglass Kammback today along with removing my passenger side mirror. I also filled up with Non-Oxygenated gas as I know this will bump me up a couple MPGs as I've tested it before. With the current price difference, it's actually becoming worth it for me know.

Installed dual deep cycle batterys in the spare tire well and a battery tender/charger

Is it still the weekend?... I put the bottom half of my 'Schlick Quattro' bumper cover on and took the passenger mirror off finally! ya! Hopefully the little thing isn't laying on the driver side when I get up tomorrow from all the weight loss on the opposite side. (bad joke) Hey TomO, got any build pics of your Kammback modding?? I'm really thinking about doing that to mine soon.

Put 2-ounces of 100% Acetone in my fuel tank...

Washed it...
right before it rained.

Installed a block heater in the Previa and changed 3 fluids.

Lot's of hills here and mostly short trips so I'm hoping for a big boost in mpg. 400watts but it takes forever to heat up. Better get some 12 gauge ext cord.

All that grovelling under the beast better be worth it.

Somewhere between the header and the oil pan is a little hole...

Yup, that's what I had to work around. Shiny new heater. Made in canada, natch.
