Didn't do anything to the car but I did register my SC for the Upcoming NEO Classics 80's and 90's Car Show at the Toyota Headquarters in Torrance next month!

FAILED at my first attempt t strut replacement. Who knew you needed a set of spring compressors and possibly a pry bar. This car's new value is teaching me how to diagnose and turn my own wrenches. I also learned cheap spacers and lugs can make for a scary front end.
Actually, not quite as bad as I thought, getting to it. I'm going to try to service the contacts in place. If I can't, then I'll go ahead and pull the whole starter.
The solenoid clicks fine, and when it catches the starter turns great. It's just the contacts on the solenoid that are going out. Just kind of sad that it takes this much work to replace a $7 set.
On, and the next thing I did after the pic was to put tape over the intake ports on the heads.
