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

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

So, I tackled a noise that was coming from my passenger door. Occasionally there was a vibrating noise that woudl happen a certain low level rpms or on rough road. It came and went so I held off.

I took the door panel off and discover that the metal arm came off of the actuator for the power locks and was resting against the door frame. The plastic piece was brittle and broke. Autozone's "help" section had the piece I needed. I put everything back together paying attention to plugs and wires adding foam and taping as a prevention.

So, first "Corona project" complete.

Since I have a lot of time on my hands, I am working on stopping an oil leak at the "oil pressure regulating valve cover plate". I've been reading the helpful hints in the solutions section, and am ready to jack the engine up a couple of inches to see if that makes the bolts more excess able. If anyone has more helpful tips, I'm all ears!

Virus projects have already begun. Installed new Alpine ILX-W650 stereo over the weekend. Next will start ordering parts for plenum pull to change injectors and wire open or remove secondaries.

Hoping once weather warms up, I can get the ZR up on the Qjacks and start cleaning suspension bits. Maybe check brake pad wear.

BTW, along w porting top end, I tie wrapped my secondaries open. Next step was removing throttle blades altogether, and finally, removed throttle shafts when heads got ported.
