With the help of Dr Boost, I also finished parting out the Integra and got it loaded for the scrapper.

I worked on the lemons cars:
-Replaced the upper ball joint, fixed the threads in the lower ball joint, and tightened the wheel bearing in the left front of the Wagovan, along with cutting and installing a new plexi window in the cargo area as it was broken during the last race.
-In the Rolls-Royce, I hooked one side of the subframe to a tree, and the other side to my Suburban in low range, and pulled the right upper control arm back into place from where it was hit in the last race, then welded the control arm mounting points back together where they were torn.

He's a slave-driver!
Replaced the drivers side front lca and bushing on the dd. rides much better now!
Yesterday, I finished off the tires on the Miata at the last local autocross points event of the year. When I got home, I removed the previous owner's bumper stickers from the back of the Suburban.
used an angle grinder to smooth the outline of the handguard (tsuba) for my gear selector.
In reply to DrBoost: Im the one that lifted it onto the trailer.
A little more attic flooring, attached the house end of the Ethernet conduit, and installed all the work bench LED floodlight units. I can now walk into the shop and turn on lights using switches by the door!
Assembled the rear for my 70 Firebird with Baer 14" 6 piston brake upgrade.

Built the brackets to hang the turbocharger under the headtube on my motorcycle.
I tried to buy some parts off another forum but the guy was a flake.
I think I figured out why the Mini ran like crap on Monday - stuck right carb float valve (again) so it was essentially running on #1 & #2 only. I cleaned the plugs (#2 & #3 were kinda fouled) and raised the carb jets a couple of flats in hopes of getting it not to run so rich. Also double-checked the choke operation (seems fine).
Hoping to give it a test drive tonight.
Ordered a stereo, speakers and installation hardware from Crutchfield. Should get it today or tomorrow. I was not looking forward to the idea of driving 5-6 hrs up to WG solo with no tunes.
set mine on fire with a fuel leak tuesday night, worked last night and this morning on repair. walking sucks.

Picked up replacement doors for my 66 Mustang project. Stripped off the old vinyl roof and started cleaning up some rust that was under the vinyl.
Finally bled the front brakes yesterday after installing SS extended brake hoses almost a year ago. Now the truck can move and time to get ready for sale. 
Serviced the IR compressor. Ditched the thumbscrew tank drain valve and replaced w/ 1/2" pipe and ball valve. Now I don't have to reach under the tank to drain. Win.
Polished out the aluminum crossover toolbox, now some CLer might offer $40 instead of $30. 
3 days into a 3hr stereo install... wires are mostly run... now time to mount the under-dash housing.
Added inflatable lumbar support to the my RX8-s driver's seat. The R3 Recaro's have zero lumbar support. I had made a foam pad that I was using to find the right location but found a Corbeau manual lumbar support on Amazon and took a chance on it. I was able to slide it under the seat cover and it fit perfectly. And it works! No more ugly foam pad and the inflation bulb fits on the floor next to the seat.
I also serviced my new to me compressor (still trying to identify the pump make).
I unloaded the benzes "new" trans out of the 5; tweaked my back in the process since they didn't remove the transfer case(bonus!).
Maybe start dropping the old one out tomorrow.
Installed some new seals on the shop roller doors, did some other maintenance. Hopefully it will be dry this winter inside the Compound.
Put the front suspension on the K-car and found two tires that would hold air. Put it on the ground for the first time in a decade and rolled it 8 feet toward the door. Tomorrow or the next day I can push it outside and then I'll have room to move the rest of the stuff from the front of the garage to the back of the garage. Then..........demolition!
Spent some time modifying a YJ winch mount so it would actually fit a YJ. Still have to drill 2 holes in the 1/4 plate.
Machined this.
Fabricated radiator brackets to fit the aluminum radiator (intended for a '68 289 Mustang) into my '64 Valiant. To clear pulleys and belts, the radiator has to sit a couple of inches to one side. Oh, well, the engine leans to that side, too.
"Frankensteined" radiator hoses for the Slant Six. I spent some quality time eyeballing the wall of hoses at the parts store, and took my best guesses. One just took a several-inch trim. The other is a combination of one for a Volare and one that seems to cross to a Saab, with a hose temp switch adapter spliced into the middle.
Fan(s) will be coming up soon.
Took the Ambo-Camper to get a state inspection and some maintenance items taken care of that I haven't had time to.
