CV boot replacement #2..... DONE!
I did the passenger side. A lot quicker the 2nd time around. 
Now I just need a new pass side ball joint (boot apparently ripped awhile ago) and a lock nut to hold the pitch bolt since my supply seems to have gone missing. I'm reusing the old one until my order comes.
I also got to use my new toy (a torque wrench, XMas gift), boy is it nice to know if the nuts and bolts are "tight enough". Now I just have to fix that stupid door handle.

Replaced the 7.5 year old battery in CGT with the 4 year old battery from urq.
After all the 83 CGT is my daily driver now. I rarely drive these cars so the batteries don't get much heat or vibration, so they last. Battery had a sticker - March 00.
I put the 7.5 year old battery in the urq and fired it up to make sure those 2 oil filters I put on last week weren't leaking, along with the coolant change i did last month.

Two Items...
1. Remove the push rod on the brake vacuum assist. It's been driving me nuts since I bought the car 2 months ago. DONE (and huge difference, thank you).
2. Oil and Filter change (Sunday morning).
