Xmas break projects, what did you do?

[SoCalSK8r]

I was fortunate to have a long winter break so I did quite a bit of maintenance on the cars:

-new pads & rotors, fluid flush on my daily driver
On the Carrera:
-new brake hoses front and rear, added speed bleeders
-brake flush
-pedal cluster rebuild
-new clutch spring
-adjust clutch
-detail wheel wells and clean wheels (while I had all wheels off)
-wash car

I didn't get around to replacing the shift coupler.

Oh ya, and I did get quite a few hours out in the canyons....,

Put my '78 SC up on jacks and pulled the front suspension off for a complete Elephant Racing rebuild, thread here.

It was bloody cold in the garage so I didn't get as much done as I wanted. But I progress a little bit each night. I found some nightmare problems that I solved with luck, so a new control arm, new spindle spacers and new bearings.

Even with the nightmare stuff, I still love it!
