Well,
We are almost done. Now time to work on the new things we see in the car. Fuel leak resolved 5/26/2013 - just needed a different clamp on the supply line on top of the fuel tank. No issues today. Need to fill up tomorrow to confirm no leaks. We drove the car and the brakes are good, the engine is strong, the trans shifts beautifully, and everything works. A/C needs a bit of R134a, but otherwise is functional.
Little things that need to be done at a more relaxed pace:
1) Engine mount on passenger side needs to be looked at to see if it is the source of some knocking at large torque changes in motor output - not an issue just a noise annoyance. DUH - tightened the nuts that ended up being loose when everything else was tightened up - DONE - 6/4/2013
2) Ball joints probably should be replaced. We'll do tie rod ends too just because we need a 4 wheel alignment anyway and its a good time to update them (and they are cheap). DONE - 5/29/2013 - DONE again on 6/4 (see below)
3) Seems to be an alarm of some sort on the car - THAT has to go. 12V battery was drained yesterday - expecting this to be the cause. Partially DONE 5/31/2013 - just need to clean up wiring that was tapped into for the alarm system. Completely DONE 6/4/2013 - removed a door lock motor that was associated with the alarm too - back to stock now
4) Mouse belt system needs some attention. The recall was done on this car so I don't have the ability to go back to a dealer to remedy anything but the "belt" light is on some times. DONE - see 6/15/2013 entry. Redone and now REALLY DONE - 10/5/2013 - see post. Replaced entire mouse belt motor and track assembly.
5) Check engine light comes on rarely. Need to grab codes and see if it matters or not. DONE - see 6/14 and 6/15/203 entry.
6) Still needs a deep exterior cleaning. Planned to be done on 6/5 including wax!! Can't wait for this - will post pics of the clean outside... DONE
7) Steering wheel is connecting to the turn signals and mechanically turns on the signals in the direction one is turning. Sounds like a feature? No. Need to figure out why the steering input impacts the signals. Weird. DONE 6/8/2013
And here she sits "airing" out:
