What is everyone else working on this weekend?

So for the second time this year, the drive train in the CRX has been pulled
We managed to do it in like 4 hours
most of the parts for the replacement drive train are on the way or here already, I do still need bearings, a trans seal, and a few other things

I'm gonna be giving her a clean cuz the pollen here sucks. Probably gonna measure the exhaust so I can remove the aftermarket exhaust mufflers and replace them with resonators. Probably the stock R/T ones.

the amount of pollen right now is infuriating
We washed my lincoln and were about to put wax on when we realized it already had a thin coat of pollen

I fixed the rear 'china wall' intake manifold leak.

did a complete oil change, ran the car parked for a good 20 minutes then shut it off, checked oil level and let it sit over night. Next day there are no obvious signs of leaks under the car where it was parked, Took it for about a 2 mile ride, pulled back into the drive way and it's a quart low. Under the hood is bone dry, oil pan is bone dry, oil and antifreeze have not mixed.... Engine not smoking, also not puking oil through the blow by...

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY OIL GOING?
>>
>>15204441
burning? into your water?

Injector o-rings and the intake manifold gasket, then there's a valve cover leak to fix, ill do that after i get paid again.

>>15204441
Oil can't just evaporate, It might be a gasket that is leaking. Best of luck.

Also did a 0-60 on it today. According to the 48 year old speedometer, I did 0-60 MPH in 7.74 seconds. What does /o/ think of that? I'm sure I could shave 2 seconds off of that if the transmission weren't slipping.

The car is a 1968 ford galaxie with a 400/C6.

I cleaned it last week, and then worked in it for a day and it ended up fucking looking like this again. What's the point?

Also installed new exhaust manifold gaskets. Some of you mother of fucks might like this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHLW99KDDwQ

Still have to buy a shorter belt for the alternator, and still have to figure out why the starter is clanking against the flywheel.

I suspect I'll be able to register the car and actually drive it within a few months, granted I can find where the hell this oil is going.

I'm done attention whoring now. I wanna see someone else's project.

damn. what engine do you use in your crx? and why? just curious, i got one myself with stock d16

I'm thinking it might need a swap soon. it makes a grinding/wheel bearing like sound, only when the car is moving in gear. does it louder/faster as the car picks up speed

Bleeding brakes on my own with a pump. last time I did it with a friend and he fucked up something and got air in. Going to learn to weld some more with HBF $100 90 amp welder.
