Since August,
-I have rebuilt the entire front suspension. New Springs, bushings ball joints, tie rod ends, ect.
-Got an Alignment.
-I have replaced the entire cooling system. Radiator and cap, timing chain, water pump, hoses, thermostat, Coolant temp sensor and sender. -Flushed heater core. Changed Oil and Filter.
-I have replaced my master cylinder and some brake lines.
Yesterday I found the new plastic reservoir on the new MC was leaking and swapped in my old reservoir.
-I replaced 4 feet of rusted roof gutter with aluminum C channel.
-I fixed all the other roof gutter rust.
-I repainted my whole fiberglass roof, and waxed it.
-Lubed my U joints
-Tuned up my DIY TV antenna.
-Adjusted 18 month old re manufactured steering gear(POS).
-Cleaned up and consolidated underhood wiring. Made it so rainwater can not drip onto wires or down firewall.
-Added a convenient 120 volt hookup.
-Resealed the windows.
-Removed and cleaned watered the batteries and posts and connections.
-Fabricated alternator Heat shield
Oh yeah, and I drove it a bunch too, since others seem to classify that as doing something to a vehicle.
The only thing I paid to have done was the Alignment.
My 22 year old Van has basically had everything rebuilt now. It costs me 48 dollars to register and 162 for liability insurance per year.
