Boy, am I tired!
Went and had a new muffler welded in around noon, got home about 1:00. Then replaced the gear in the drivers side power window, replaced both front rotors, front shocks, then rear shocks with new coil over shocks (sits nice and level now).
Replaced front sway bar bushings, changed oil and oil filter, air filter, greased, replaced both burnt out tag lights, put new screws into some of the plastic trim, fixed a rattle in the spare tire carrier.
Not too bad an afternoons's work for an old man. I hope the B2 is good to go for a while now.

They only come as a matched pair in one box, so their price was probably for the set. It could have been a mis-print if they stated "each".
My rear springs have 217k miles on them. The shocks raised the back up to where it sits level, and is very firm, but not rough.

'bout right
Sounds like my original list after I got my '89. The rotors were the most critical, since they were really warped. Replaced the shocks with KYB GR2's, good combination of ride/control. took the seats and carpet out to really clean them up. Found my build sheet under the carpet, I should post the pix I took of it.
Biggest pain was replacing the radio light bulb! Only need to fix drooping passenger rear view mirror and give it an oil change (thinking synthetic) and it will be defect free!!

Thanks for the pictures.
