Lizzie's to do/done list

Thermostat - DONE $170
Expansion Tank - Done $500 (My cousin is a thief)
Fix scratches - DONE $35

Upper and Lower
Rad hoses $90

CCV $198 (may or may not diy)
DISA $250 (will DIY)
VANOS oil pipe $55 (will DIY)

Fan clutch $150 (will DIY)
Water pump $100 (will DIY)
Belts, pulleys, &
Tensioners $250 (will DIY)

Rear subframe
bushings $300 (parts and tool rental, DIY)

Might have to investigate a very faint 'clunk' in the steering, too. Waiting on better weather to get started, though I'll be buying the parts soon. All in all, I'd have to say it's not a bad amount of work to have to do.

LOL... never knew about the Ford. Named it Lizzie after the main character of Pride and Prejudice.

Might get the fan clutch this week, since I have to take it off to do the hoses anyway.

I was going to name it Totoro, but someone on the forum beat me to it.

Belts, tensiors, pulleys
Water pump
02 sensors
OFHG
Taillight re-wire to resolve burnout issue.
Semi-fixed door lock while waiting for new lock to come

She's coming along
