Wife called today and said a socket was stuck in the tire on the foz. Drove down to where she was at and sure enough a T-40 Torx tamperproof socket was sticking right in the tread. Swapped on the spare and drove it back to the shop.

Yesterday, Mr. Brown UPS dropped off the new Curt Class II hitch and wiring adapter. So, on the way to the shop, I picked up the hitch and decided to install it.

My night consisted of fixing the tire, swapping it back on and putting the spare back in its hole. Next came the hitch. Ended up removing the entire exhaust from the flange back to the mufflers. Not hard to do, but definitely fun doing it by myself. I got plenty of tools and a 10k 2post lift, so no laying on the back fighting a creeper.

Late night, but well worth the effort. Now I don't have to use the 2500HD to move the little stuff.

Cleaned dog puke off the back seat. It happens. Meet Leena, a ten year old red brindle Plott Hound.

Been there, done that. A car is not really a car until your dog barfs in it. :biggrin:

Dropped off the Foz @ IAG for a Exedy Stage 1 clutch install. With just a few clicks over 70K, the clutch is starting to slip, especially in the cold.

Regreased all 4 sti struts in preparation for install next weekend. :woohoo:

Swapped the dirty tan rear lower seat cover for a black one. Looks sweet, I still have to do the seat backs and driver seat. Damn those hog rings suck and slow things down

I finished wrapping the dash panels in CF. They look sweet!

Drove to the Snake river at Brownee Res. up to Oxbow dam then over to Richland Or. then down a gravel road for about 38 miles along the snake river. The mountains are beautiful and lots of snow. It was our fist road trip about 300 miles. Loved IT!

I had a productive day with the forester.....found a white 98s in the salvage yard and got an armrest extension and rear cup holder for 15 bucks (both in perfect shape)
Took my baby for a quick car wash since the weather was somewhat nice -12 instead of the typical -26.....
Interesting note, the 98 has nice plush grey interior with heated front seats compared to the course burlap sack like interior of my L...hahahah
Will this interior swap over?
They will give me the whole interior for 100 bucks as long as i take it out. Worth it???

 

[Capn]

Sorry shouldnt have asked that question in this forum..... my bad. Ignore the interior swap question.

Big spring cleaning day. Got excited and out the summer rubber back on. I'll probably have to switch back a day or two, but I don't really need the winters anymore as we mostly get rain in the valleys in the spring.
Used a ton on Mothers back to black on trim and some interior pieces. Vacuum the interior, fabreeze, pet hair roller, Orange oil cleaner, and some tlc in the engine bay.
There's a big local meet tomorrow, more than 85 cars, and I get one of the ride of the month spots so I wanted her to look nice.

 

[Snoshado]

Ordered a new radiator and sourced a racing harness and new struts

 

[Tuned200]

Today's plan is to finish up the dash and put it all back together. Install the gauge cover and finish up the wiring. The 1 part im waiting on is due in tomorrow so hopefully the Gray Goose will be back on the road this week. Its been a long two weeks.
