I have a poly bushing kit for my 89 F150 to install and I'm going to convert my rear tank into a water tank for water injection.

By convert, I'm going to isolate it from the fuel system and run some nylon hose from the rear tank to the carb.

I'm hoping to be able to run regular once the WI is done.

I'm gonna blast trough a couple hundred rounds of ammo tomorrow.

I'm not gonna be playing grease monkey again until the 360 motor gets out of the machine shop.

I'll then have some fun dropping it back in the 1994 3500 4x4 it came out of.

Waiting to get the "correct" size tires for my Nissan Xterra. I purchased (4) American Racing wheels:

"Chamber" with Teflon

as well as (4) Bridgestone Revos in 265/75R16:

...went to put the new setup and wouldn't you know?... It rubs just enough to piss me the hell off when I turn the front wheels and I'm not springing the $$$ for a 3" lift.

It did look good however as long as I drive straight ahead only!

Sears gladly shipped them back and now I'm waiting on a set of Revo's in 265/70R16's, it better freakin' fit this time around.

By the way the stock tire size is 265/65R17.

After that, I'm getting me some sliders from Shrockworks.

Finally finishing up the MK8 project.

97' MK8 with 13" KVR rotors and Mustang Cobra PBR calipers, new upper and lower control arms, tie rod ends, strut rod bushings, ball joints, ADDCO sway bar, and suspension sensors. Out back are 12" KVR rotors, ADDCO sway bar, and a 3.73 Traction Lock diff. from a Cobra. All the good stuff is hidden behind a set of 17X9 Cobra R type wheels with Michelin (fuckin' frogs make good meats) 255/45X17's.

Next on the list is the new fuel pump, transmission service, and a real dual exhaust with QUIET mufflers. The older I get, the more I hate a noisy street car. With the exception of the big-block Mustang, of course.

I was lazy this weekend, I only changed the oil in my F150 and my motorcycle. I think all the beer over took my ability to work on stuff.

It wasn't the weekend, but I did do this yesterday (Monday) on my '85 Chevy 6.2L diesel pickup:

1. Changed oil and oil filter
2. Changed air filter
3. Greased front end (five fittings)
4. Topped off transfer case with ATF (has slow leak)
5. Replaced exhaust mount with a large radiator hose clamp
6. Removed, wire brushed, slobbered liberal amounts of "Never Seize," and re-mounted exhaust clamp (it wasn't tight enough, causing exhaust leak)

Detailing, new rubber, oil change, and fixing anything I find on a used Mustang GT I bought. Already fixed the burned out headlamp and added headlight covers for accent.

Detailing my Miata so I can sell it.

Sanding and painting the bumper on my 89' Dakota that is starting to show a little rust.

Beats doing ball joints and front ends.

I was driving a good portion of the weekend.

Worked monday.

Spent today changing oil, air filter, and cleaning the interior. Interior still needs help, but I think the only thing that's going to fix it is a steam cleaning, and the car isn't worth that much effort.

Repaired the shifter linkage and replaced the power steering pump in my Dodge.

On the test drive the remaned PS pump gave up the ghost in a loud and grotesque manner.

I should have bought from NAPA.
