I don't know if it's the discovery of new jobs that gets me, or the "job creep" that happens when I realize how much easier it will be to do a few at the same time, until it seems like I might as well dump the box out and start the puzzle from scratch.
Take for example the engine harness. Almost nothing is hooked up in the engine compartment, and the coil is jumped by a toggle switch in the car. But getting to that wiring harness is rediculously hard with the brake booster in the car. But I'm doing a disc swap anyway, so two birds with one stone, right? And you know what, that freaking steering coupler that doesn't have any rubber left will be about 100x times easier to get to without the master cylinder in. Might as well swap out a new steering column then too, wouldn't want to have to take the new brake booster off, or brake an arm later trying to get the coupler off. And as long as we are on steering, that power steering pressure line just has to be replaced, and lord knows you can't torque it while the master cylinder is in the car. And that front suspension is kind of worn, since the spindles are coming off with the disc swap I guess the coil spring and shocks are a quick change then. Ball joints too, might as well. And I do have a box of polyurathane control arm bushings, and thats just a few bolts away once the coil spring and shocks are off.....
It gets to be that I don't know when to START a job. Oh wait, I guess when I get a garage. It would be so nice.
