- My passenger side sidepipe was hitting the bottom of the body opening due to engine torque. I also had a small exhaust leak - maybe caused from the sidepipe hitting the opening and breaking the seal. I've already removed the sidepipe, enlarged the opening, primed and painted the repair and reinstalled the sidepipe with Walker's exhaust sealant.
- Remove the wheels to clean them inside and to clean the wheel wells.
- Grease the suspension, front and rear, and the driveshaft.
- Clean the underside of the car
- Retorque the head bolts. My valve covers seep a bit so I want to replace the gaskets anyway. I'm going to buy some bolt spanners to spread out the load - hope that stops the seeping.
- I have a small oil pan leak. Not sure if I want to just live with it or remove the oil pan to replace the gasket.
- Heater switch stopped functioning. I've removed it already and have a replacement on the way.
- Smith's oil temp gauge stopped working. I've already removed it and have a replacement on the way.
- Detail/wax the car
