I have so much work to do to my car for the summer:
- Claybar and Polish.
- Touch up all the paint chips.
- Get fenders and doors adjusted. (Doors are rubbing on the fenders.)
- Adjust driver-side exhaust tip. (It'* crooked.)
- Repaint spoiler. (Clearcoat is coming off.)
- Get lowering springs installed.
- Get alignment after springs are installed.
- Get thorough inspection for leaks. (Just worred about the recent engine fires.)
I have a lot to do. I think there is something wrong with the paint for my year because it chips off easier than anything.
I actually just posted this to organize my thoughts.

Mine:
1: Get new tires on so that I can pass inspection
2: Upgrade from my current Bonnie to a set of 2 cars
car 1: Something with vin 1 goodness
car 2: Something that I can autocross with confidence
(I'm looking at you, Mr. Miata
)
3: Improve both

Mine is:
Pay for a friend to finish bodywork and get the car painted since I just don't have time or patience. (been saving)
Get a built trans.
And finish tuning.
