Weekend Plans



 I need to finish up a set of 02J brackets which shouldn't take me more than 6 hours and once I get welding you just can't stop me!
After that I'll be lucky to put a clutch cable and speedo cable in my POS 16V.
The 84 turbo might get the residue from a small coolant leak cleaned off of it.

I wouldn't even dream of thinking I could accomplish all the things on your list in one weekend.
