Winter projects
 

1993 #135 in now off the road for the winter. The project list is:
+) F/R wheel bearing/hubs (completed, AC Delco golds used as replacements)
+) Pinion seal replacement
+) Steering column pivot pin replacement
So one project checked off the list and a couple more to go. Before removing the old bearing/hubs I measured deflection at the wheel rim lip. All 4 had noticeable deflections when off the ground and moved by hand. Ranged from 0.025? to 0.040?. One rear came apart when removed from the knuckle. Not sure all 4 are the originals, but now all are fresh.

tiegsd,
I like number (10) the best of all!

Re: Winter projects
 

I agree Mike--In fact, I think I would make this number 1 before I start into a list like that. While I have no list of car projects, I do have to do the annual maintenance on my 1950's Lionel trains layout over the winter. Skipped it last year so it is really needed now. About 600 wheels need cleaning and oiling, plus greasing of gears, wiping down all the track with automotive brake cleaner, the usual repairs to engines and accessories that are running sluggishly, etc. Keeps me off the streets but at least I don't have to do it in a cold garage. --Bob

Maybe this will be the year that I pull the Bose
head unit and send it to Dr Don to fix the CD player?
I've threatened to do this every Winter for the 15 years
I've owned the car! I normally listen to the AM news
station, so it really hasn't been a problem.....

Or buy a FM transmitter / BT transmitter

Seems #10 has a magical attraction to it as a similar item is on my list, too [emoji6]

However, as I had to replace all suspension bushings, rear wheel bearings, front tie rod ends, all ignition coils, front left Bose amp and battery this year and did the heater core end of '22 my ZR is looking forward to a relaxing winter with no projects.

It's nice when things just work, and I don't want to jeopardize this great feeling

I'll focus on the older Audi unicorn I acquired some months ago. This thing needs a lot of attention - and hard work - to become what it deserves to be. Drinks and cigars included

Re: Winter projects
 

My projects for the '91 ZR-1:

1) replace the battery
2) drive the car
3) drive the car some more
4) drive the car even more
5) re-fill the gas tank, drive some more

My garage expansion is making progress so this will help facilitate having all the cars "jump in and go" ready so that any good morning I have the opportunity to drive I can just gooooo..

These aren't necessarily listed in order. :D
