Well, got my tax return, paid for things (not related to the car), set up a job, was sideswiped on the Deerfoot, and the guy ran. Police report filed, stuff in progress. Annoyed Red is annoyed.
So that's a thing. The doors are fine, just scuffed and the plastic guards are fairly trashed. Unfortunately, the quarter is damaged. Fortunately, buddy figures it can be repaired, but if that's getting done, I wanna fix the rock chips, touch up the bumpers, and all those strange water mineral mark things completely. But if that's happening, might as well do a complete colour change. Or just not and drive it. It's a 50/50 at the moment.
Anyway, I'm nearing 200k, currently sitting at 192,500km. Likely going to be putting a bunch more km on it in the near future, so it'd be nice to do some work to it, such as:
- Power steering delete/manual rack. The pump is still being persnickety and leaky, makes noises, and occasionally decides that it doesn't wanna work. I don't want to fork over $400+ for a new one from New Zealand.
- Clutch. She's pretty worn. (have materials for)
- Timing belt and water pump (have materials for)
- Pull the motor and do new seals on the leaking surfaces. (have some materials for)
- Coils or new struts. The rear dampers are starting to show signs of weeping.
- Brakes, cause might as well. There's quite a lip on the fronts, and the rears look unevenly worn.
- Any other mechanical touch-ups.
- Flock the dash (have materials for)
The plan was to do this work while I had the Green EG Civic, but ended up selling that to my brother as his Civic met an untimely demise.
More indecisiveness to come!
Looks really good man. Can't wait to see you finish the headlights.
And boy howdy are they gonna look good!
