Don't remind me to ....

Oh my, the list is long, and keeps getting longer ... :toilet:
 
 
MUST BE DONE
0) Save up to take the missus back home to Oz. First/foremost, and yesterday was too late.
1) Get the title/tag/insurance for the new toy (tomorrow without fail)
2) Build a new "chicken coop". Now that I have TWO 86 Birds, need a place to get them in out of the weather and so I can start doing some serious work on my first one. It needs to be large enough for two '86 Birds, one 92 F-150, and one '70 Beetle Baja. From experience, the doors will have to be at least 10 ft wide. Sticking a '92 F-150 through 9 foot doors is like cramming 10 pounds of Sh** in a 5 pound bag.
3) Replace the ENTIRE steering system on the original Blue Bird.
4) Fix hesitation problem on original Blue Bird
5) Prep original Blue Bird for painting. Gonna strip all trim, lights, remove header, bumper covers and interior pieces possible so I can get a FULL paint job. Will probably do most of the dent relief myself. No way I'll try to paint it though. I'm not that good with an air gun, and simply don't have the time for the paint process.
6) Repair stripped cylinder/head stud on VW engine and get it running again.
I REALLY SHOULD ...
1) Grade/level/gravel a parking spot for the TOO many cars I have here. Looks like a used car lot. Step 1 above would probably solve that, though. Would be nice for visitors, though.
2) Get some photos of the new toy on the forum.
4) Get ler/exhaust for the new toy
WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO ....
1) This list is entirely too long
:birdsmily:
(X2) '86 Thunderbird, 3.8L CFI, C5 Tranny
 
'92 F-150, 5.0L EFI (SD), M5OD Tranny, 3.08 Dif
 
'70 VW Beetle, 1780cc, twin Solex 43's.

Bump, just adding that I've finished the last "mandatory" project today (rebuilt the wood furnace fire box). My "To Do" list is finally complete, except for the top-secret project that I added. That project, or phase one of it anyway, is about 90% complete. I've had to push the estimated completion date back by a week, but I'm extremely pleased with its progress so far...
