Default virus projects?
Hey all

Like many of you I am "working from home" for the next couple of weeks. Yes, I will do some stuff for work, but I'll realistically have a bunch of time.

So, any thoughts on a "high value car project" that I can work on? My 91 is currently in really good order with nothing really wrong.

Since I have a lot of time, are there any thoughts on a good project and/or preventative maintenance I could look into?

Thanks!

My back went out last Sunday and been recuperating mostly. Once I feel better, I am thinking brake fluid flush. Since I installed speed bleeders about 2 years ago, is a one man job.

That’s all part of brake fluid flush.

I need to do that too, along w finally clay bar and waxing. I’m like one of those people that doesn’t like to finish off exterior until mechanicals are in the condition that a shiny exterior suggests.
Weird I know.

Yes exactly. Not sure where I picked up this “concept”.

Alas no car projects. I am afraid I am reduced to this. Should have involved my 3 and 6 year old grandchildren to improve the quality. I also have about a month's worth of deferred annual maintenance on my Lionel trains to do, which had been postponed due to January hip replacement surgery. Plus lots of books to read.--Bob

No not weird. You're just the kind of person I want to find to purchase their old cars from.
