Maintenance is done!!!! So happy.

Finally got off my butt and did all of the maintenance I have been putting off. Swapped the lca bushings, brake pads, did the timing belt, water pump, plugs, oil change, coolant flush, repaired the ac clutch, even topped the windshield washer fluid bottle. Hands are hurting, now. Think I will go nap.

As much as I love cookies and milk; after a job like that I'll be needing a beer, preferably a nice hoppy IPA.

Envy for you is all I can say.
Mine have been on jack stands for a month now. I cant get a break. I went under for a clutch and now $2500 later my shit is still not ready. I bought this 6mt off the black market for a good deal, but fuck I just want my car back. Whoever serviced this car last was a complete jerkoff. The clutch disk was installed backwards, the cotter pins holding the shifter cables were stringed out zip ties, coil pack bolts missing, bolts missing off the throttle body, wrong bolts were installed on the motor mounts, and the list goes on. Ordering new part after goddamn part...
I expected a certain degree of restorative work on an older car like this, but this shit blows my mind.
sorry /end rant
