Replaced the starter which is a job I hope I never need to again.
Resolved (hopefully) an oil leak from the plenum.
Installed a new driver's door handle piece to fix the flopping lever.
And cleaned the seats with Chemical Guys leather cleaner and horse hair brush. Was very, very pleased with that product as the 130k previous miles really had the seats looking worn. The perforations were completely gunked up making the black seats look kinda gross. Without too much hassle they look good as new now.
This week:
Had PPF installed on the hood and front fenders. The bumper, headlights and mirrors already had PPF on them.
Had the car ceramic coated.
Installed a ProClip phone mount.
Swapped brake pads to Porterfield R4 track pads.
Brake fluid flush with Castrol SRF.
Oil Change.
Loud bang when putting the top down today. Wasn’t alarmed, been to this rodeo before and since keep a pair of these in the glove box. Last change was probably 60k miles and 5+ years ago. And many open / close cycles. End ball cap from top pushrod. They will eventually break.
Installed some Numeric pedals and a wooden shift ****. Found out that apparently the shaft on the Numeric shifter is slightly bigger than a stock one. The **** test fit fine on my old SSK, but wouldn't go on the Numeric. Had to remove some material with a sanding drum to make it fit.
been in desperate straits trying to find the source of a nasty rattle. ...been searching off and on for over a year. had the glovebox and half the dash torn apart in the past ...now, actually tomorrow, it's time for the passenger side door panel... boowhaaaaahahaha!
