I finished off my dash refresh, as I'd left it in a bit of a state: no horn, some mis-oriented LEDs, and a blown fuse. Now very pleased with the results, good thing too because it was a bit of a trial.

Buttoned up all but the very last of the MM/OPG refresh project tasks. Just need to drop it on the ground and torque the rear carriers for the front LCA, drive it a bit to fill/purge the rest of the steering system. Get it to full temp with the new oil. Then roll it into its winter hibernation spot.

Still on my sometime-this-winter-before-spring list:

-- replace transmission mounts
-- door panel reinforcement plates
-- brake fluid replacement
-- annual electrical maintenance

The county decided to start putting mag chloride liquid de-icer in some of the roads already. It must be winter!

took first swipe at degreasing the engine now on a rolling stand.
I'm gonna need a bigger boat.
I've been searching threads here for good cleaning advice.
