Doing more work on my cars now then before
For a long time, 30 years, I haven't done much work on my cars but the simple filter changes, cleaning of MAF sensors or a set of plugs. Before that, it was a must due to lack of money so roll up sleeves and learn. Now that time is more flexible and that my kid is old enough, I am actually doing lots more. Few years back, we did all the suspension on my kid's 4 runner and rubber hoses and parts. My next thing is to change out control arms and tie rods on my Cayman S. It has 100k on it. I hate removing ball joints. They never seem to come apart even with one of those ball joint removal tools that you crank out with a socket. BAll joint on my wife's van kicked my ass so my fear of the Cayman's not coming apart haunts me. After that, I am going after my wiring harness on my 993 turbo. Its just old and its been sitting so they are brittle but it only has 21,000 miles on it. I keep saying my days under the car is over but...
I know for sure, crawling into attics or under the someone's house is over for sure. Sending my men in now.
