I'm wondering what DIY Clinic projects are contemplated for this year.

My car is pretty well sorted (except for the CV joints which have started clicking....obviously not a project to be attempted 100 miles away from home base :smile) so I'm thinking of attempting something interesting, useful and "safe" like the 99 relay mod.

...what's on your list?

If you find any on your trips to the JY it would be nice to snag them. My thought is to use the wiper relay from my donor car to modify, which would leave the one from my 107 available to someone else to modify, and so on - that way there's always a good one to replace if something goes wrong....unfortunately I seem to have misplaced it. Hopefully it will turn up before long.

Edit: found it...now have to work on my filing system :)

:wink I saw several posts about prurient matters, but it now appears that you folks might actually work on cars during the GTG..

Either way, I am quite nearby, and will definitely drop by with my 560SL to say hello and check things out... I might also bring my 26 year son who has been flogging the '87 560sl beater that we bought this fall...

That's a tall order for one day especially since there is ALWAYS beer involved.

I'll help....but ONLY if you show up with a quart of 3M 1357 glue and at least 5 - 1" paint brushes.:)
