What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2019]

Worked on my Civic that I bought as a cheap project to save gas. Paid $180 for the car & drove it home. Driver's fender, hood, & bumper cover were messed up. Water pump was puking coolant, nasty inside. Just got the front end back together today. Already did the timing belt and water pump. Should be able to put it on the road next week. I'll have $550 total into the car when it's all done.

Almost done with the roof sheeting. Getting close to being done with the framing too. Will be nice to shift gears with this thing and work on something besides dimensional lumber and not as demanding/dangerous. Father in law is doing the septic system in the foreground of the second pic.

Awesome! I have a soft spot for cheap commuter cars. Does the A/C work? I have one (the '04 Camry) that is gonna need an engine soon, still unsure exactly what I'm gonna do with it.

That house is begging for solar panels.
 
Finally up off the floor. Note the vintage Xbox... and really vintage couch my home has so much "rad" in it.

Not bad for a car guy.

I can hear the sound of Vtec in my head from my tuner days lol! Toss an ebay intake on that sucker for a little help and cool sounds.
 
Started doing some G body rear end related work

But needed to do some lathe work

Thing has had a gear noise problem since I bought it, and it kept jumping out of power feed,

So I took the gear cover off

Basically I found out 2 bolts were loose, it's missing a nut holding a gear on, and everything was out of adjustment. Everything is adjustable (which is good) and was totally out of adjustment. I gotta grab a few parts and put it back together tomorrow and back to work.
