My first accomplishment when getting my 3.2 home was to clean the underside with a power washer turned way down to not remove paint. I must have removed 50 lbs of mud, rocks, and dirt from the car. Maybe more.

Paul's little thing of the day:
On my way home from the monthly PCA dinner meeting, I noticed that my left front turn signal was out.
I have just returned from a successful garage session in which I have replaced my left front signal bulb.
I shall now wait patiently while the kudos come flooding in. LOL.

Crickets...LOL. My kudos don't mean much but you've got 'em nonetheless.

Here's my favorite source, but unfortunately, they appear to be out at the moment.

You'll have to shop around some more.

Ok so not huge accomplishments by any means, but this weekend I...
1. Replaced my brake light switches. Brake lights now work with much less pedal effort.
2. Fixed my fog-lights... the relay was bad.
3. Replaced my engine lid shock with a heavy duty Weltmeister version from Pelican. Works great.
4. Removed front valance below the bumper and straightened out a dent (previous owner caused). It's not perfect, but looks much, much better.
I have to say that while all of these 'fixes' are considered easy by DIY standards, each had it's own degree of PITAssness.
A suspension overhaul is next on the list. Mine is shot and I think the car will be much more enjoyable to drive once I replace bushings, shocks, etc... I need to save a bit more 'petty cash' before tackling this project though...
Thanks for all of the help so far!

Agreed JC and a suspension will make a world of a difference. I bought this car from a good friend, so I was in the car before and after. He put in new bilsteins all around, stiff and lower springs and a stabilizer in the frunk. Car handles great and this is from a guy that has an 09' S w/ a SPASM setup!
thanks guys!
